Coast Guard LARS

Netherlands-headquartered TBV Marine Systems, part of High-Tech Solutions & Design B.V., has recently finished the commissioning for eight FRC/RHIB Launch and Recovery systems (LARS) that have been delivered for four new vessels ordered by the Kuwait Coast Guard from the Zamil Offshore Shipyard in Saudi Arabia.

For this project, the LARS was designed to carry a craft with a length of nearly nine metres, with a maximum weight of six tons. For each vessel, the stern ramp was designed to carry two vessel launch systems, which were both powered by one hydraulic power unit.

This project has again proven TBV Marine Systems’ ability to use its experience in developing technical solutions for the global maritime market to effectively tailor the LARS to the specific demands of the customer. TBV says that by means of a creative team of engineers and its group of partners, the project for the Kuwait Coast Guard has successfully been commissioned to the satisfaction of the shipyard and the final customer.
