SATTAHIP:--The Royal Thai Navy put its latest patrol boat into service, adding to forces assigned to Thailand’s exclusive zone for drilling, fishing and natural resources.

Navy Commander-in-Chief Adm. Surasak Runroengrom and Royal Thai Fleet Commander Adm. Kanat Tongpool set HTMS Krabi on its way from the Sattahip Naval Base Aug. 26.

Surasak said construction of the 2.9 billion baht ship was part of the navy’s battle-readiness development to protect the country, prevent incursions into territorial waters and assist victims of disasters.

The Krabi, a modified British River-class vessel, was at Sattahip’s Mahidol Adulyadej Royal Navy Dock from 2009-2011 and was launched by HRH Princess Sirindhorn in December of that year.
