FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

The Virginia Marine Resource Commission (VMRC) Focuses on Safety and Homeland Security - New Security Assets, Twin PROTECTOR 28' Cabin Boats

Newport News, VA - The Virginia Marine Resource Commission (VMRC) has just taken delivery of two new 28' Cabin Protector boats to protect and secure Virginia's waterways. The VMRC is responsible for multiple facets of law enforcement including general boating safety, search and rescue, and fisheries. "We are now able to respond quickly to any marine threat" explains Lt. Colonel Warner Rhodes, "the boats allow us to accomplish a multitude of functions safely and efficiently."

VMRC took delivery of their twin Protector 28' Cabin boats in June 2007. Each 28' Cabin Protector can reach comfortable speeds to 55MPH with a full load of gear and 12 passengers while performing challenging missions in a safe, dry and fully enclosed cabin. These ultra stable, fast and secure vessels give the state new capabilities to perform the important missions of patrolling Virginia's waterways 365 days a year, in any weather conditions.

Protector History

Originally engineered for the New Zealand Coast Guard, PROTECTOR is a multi-purpose, high-performance, hard bottom inflatable powerboat. The solid laminate, fiberglass hull is built for strength and safety. The chambered hypalon tubes provide shock absorption, stability and additional flotation. Together, the deep-V hull and UV resistant tubes create unmatched safety and performance compared to traditional hard sided boat designs. In the United States, custom-equipped commercial boats have been built for police, fire and search and rescue teams across the country. PROTECTOR's current line of boats include a Center Console (22', 25', 28'), Targa (28',35'), and HAURAKI (40').

PROTECTOR’s current line of boats includes a Center Console (22’, 25’, 28’), Targa (28’, 35’), and the new HAURAKI (40’).
