The primary vessel currently consists of one 21’ vessel center console outboard patrol vessel. The current hard-top, center console, open cockpit boat design provides a useful and safe seasonal platform for one or two officers to conduct patrol work, including boarding vessels, along Maine’s coastline and tidal waters. The current small patrol/rescue vessel has been in service for upwards of 27 years; due to the age, condition, and the increased maintenance and repair required by this vessel, the Department is planning to continue replacing the vessel in this class. The Department has found it necessary to increase the operability of its small vessel by pursuing a replacement vessel design that will allow for increased usability in the spring and autumn months and in inclement weather conditions.
