Willard Marine Ships 11-meter Rigid Inflatable Boat to U.S. Navy
Today, Willard Marine shipped another 11-meter open center console rigid inflatable boat (RIB) to Virginia, fulfilling our contract with the U.S. Navy to supply two variants of 11-meter RIB boats for a standard ship's boat operations. Willard Marine has been supplying the Navy and their Foreign Military Sales division with these types of 11-meter RIB boats for 15 years, and additional 11-meter vessels have been procured by the U.S. Coast Guard.
“Willard Marine is well-regarded for developing the most reliable heavy-duty, rugged commercial fiberglass hull available today, and we are committed to innovating the next generation of military RIBs that will perform reliably in the most challenging sea conditions while keeping our service men and women safe,” stated Ulrich Gottschling, president and chief executive officer of Willard Marine, Inc.
