SAFE 25 vessels replace Rodman speedboats for patrol operations

Chilean state-run shipyard ASMAR has delivered the last five Defender-class speedboats to the navy’s maritime law enforcement authority DIRECTEMAR for patrol operations.

Chile acquired 15 SAFE 25 Full Cabin vessels from the US company Safe Boats International as part of  the RHIN II programme.

While the boats were manufactured by Safe Boats, they were delivered in containers for subsequent assembly at the ASMAR facility in Valparaiso.
