Civilian Crewing of Naval Vessels - IPV Sea Trials

In a first for the New Zealand Defence Force, Kōtare provided a commercial crew for two Inshore Patrol Vessels that were being sold to the Irish Naval Service. This involved working with the clients, local equipment providers, Lloyd’s Register classification society, and a multitude of other stakeholders. Kōtare project managed returning these vessels to active service with commercial partners, establishing maintenance routines and conducting equipment recommissioning and familiarisation. Our team established critical stores and spare-parts lists. Our work ultimately led to a successful handover of the vessels to the Irish Naval Service. #CivilianCrewing #Care&Custody #ContractorSeaTrials #IrishNavalService
