Inshore Patrol Vessel.
55m, 430 tonnes, core crew of 25 and bunks for up to 38, max speed of over 25kts. Designed for constabulary work around the NZ coast, mostly in support of MPI and Customs although we work with Police, DoC and other agencies from time to time.
I was in command of this one from Sep last year through until the end of May this year when I moved to palmy.
