The Union of Greek Shipowners (EEE) has donated to the Coast Guard 10 state-of-the-art high-speed boats that will be built in Greece based on an Icelandic design, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Friday following a meeting with shipowners, ANA reports.
Based on unique Icelandic hull design, the Rafnar 1100 Cabin Bulletproof boats are all-weather and keep an even keel in rough seas, unsinkable, with a bulletproof cabin and space to accommodate the transfer of sick and injured people. With a maximum speed of 56 knots/hour, the boats also include thermal cameras and have been tested in North Atlantic waters.
