Zodiac Milpro, a global leader in the design and manufacture of military and professional craft, has received an order from the UK Ministry of Defence for twenty-four Intercept and Escort Craft (IEC) for the UK MoD Police.
The IEC design is based on Zodiac Milpro’s proven SRA range of aluminium Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs) designed by Vectis Marine Design, the group's specialist naval architecture and design consultancy.
More than two hundred of the Zodiac Milpro SRA RIBs are in service with professional organisations worldwide.
The standard SRA 800 design has been adapted to meet the specific requirements of the MoD Police and will be used for patrol, escort, and security duties in UK naval bases.
David Bartholomew, Managing Director of Zodiac Milpro UK said, “We are delighted to have been selected by the UK Ministry of Defence to deliver the Intercept and Escort Craft to the UK MoD Police. This important success follows other recent projects to supply Zodiac Milpro boats to the UK MoD and strengthens our position as a leading provider of military and professional boats within the UK”.
Zodiac Milpro designs and manufactures vessels to meet demanding operational requirements and has facilities in the UK, Europe, North America, and Australia.
