RIB daughtercraft delivered to Ireland’s Revenue Commissioners

Baird Maritime

Boomeranger Boats of Finland recently delivered a new rigid inflatable boat (RIB) for use as a daughtercraft on one of the cutters operated by Ireland's Revenue Commissioners service.

The boat measures six metres long and is powered by a Volvo Penta D3 engine with DPS sterndrive. Missions include enforcement and anti-smuggling operations in Irish territorial waters and adjacent seas.

The newbuild replaces an earlier waterjet-equipped Boomeranger RIB that has been in operation with the same customer since 2008.
