Bangkok based Seacrest Marine, deliver new patrol boats to Royal Thai Police

A pair of 24-meter catamaran patrol boats has been delivered to the Royal Thai Police. Designed by Incat Crowther and built by the Bangkok based Seacrest Marine, delivery of the vessels closes a capability gap identified by the police force.

The aluminum newbuilds, Ratayapibanbancha and Arcarachwaratorn, are based on the Reef Ranger designed by Incat Crowther and commenced operation as a patrol boat on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef in 2014. According to the designer, the platform has demonstrated superior operating characteristics in service and was identified as capable of meeting the mission demanded by the Royal Thai Police.

A large aft working deck houses a 4.5-meter fast rescue craft, forward of which is the main deck cabin. The cabin has a fully-featured galley to starboard and a wet room to port. Forward of the hull access are two large rooms, one a dormitory for 8 crew, the other a large mess and dining space.
