We
are pleased to announce we have recently been awarded a large contract
by the Irish Government's Department of Defence.
The contract involves the supply of a quantity of 10 Zodiac RIBs,
complete with 50Hp 4 Stroke outboards, trailers etc. The boats will
be used by the Civil Defence, and will be deployed at 10 strategic
locations around the coast of Ireland, each under the command of the
local Civil Defence Officer.
The Civil Defence chose Zodiac PRO Pack 470 boats which feature Zodiac's
2 man side by side upholstered seating (541274) and separate steering
console (541420).
A number of additions were made to the standard specification, including
fitting Zodiac Over Pressure Relief valves to every chamber of each
boat, Zodiac stainless steel Roll Bars (541167), an anchor locker,
windscreen etc.
The boats have recently undergone rigorous testing at sea as our photos
show and, having passed with flying colours, were delivered to the
Civil Defence ahead of schedule.
Commenting on the contract, Western Marine's Hogan Magee said "We
are pleased to have been chosen by the Department of Defence for this
contract. We are proud of the quality of our products and we believe
this is a powerful endorsement of the quality of our workmanship and
the depth of our experience".
