SSB stated that the boats would be used to fight against illegal immigration, smuggling as well as search and rescue operations. “We aim to have security operations more effective,” SSB said.
ARES Shipyard will produce six boats per month. The shipyard underlines that this is an unmatched serial production capacity. The company has completed its inner tests before handling the boat to the end-user. The end-user tested the boat all over the Turkish Seas. It also performed various crash tests for operational uses.
