Vestdavit supplied a series of systems for the Norwegian Coast Guard’s new class of polar patrol vessels at the Vard Langsten yard in Norway.

Each vessel is equipped with three specially designed boat launch-and-recovery systems from Vestdavit – one TDB-10000L and two PLR-5003KVs. Both systems are of a bespoke design and fulfils the Coast Guard’s requirement for 330-days-a-year availability in conditions up to an upper Sea State 5 and in temperatures of -25°C.

Additionally, Vestdavit also designed and supplied a wagon-based boat-transfer system that is based upon the patented Mission Ease concept which handles two boats. Painter booms were also included in the scope of supply.
