HART Marine was awarded the contract to build an ORC 14.3m and ORC 18.1m Fast Pilot Craft for the Port Phillip Sea Pilots.
After a worldwide search and much research, Port Phillip Sea Pilots selected the ORC 14.3m and the ORC 18.1m Pilot Boats, which are designed by Pantocarene.
Discussions then took place in early 2009, resulting in the company being commissioned to build the two vessels.
Mal Hart MD Hart Marine said: “As a Victorian company, we were proud to have the support of the Port Phillip Sea Pilots to take on this project.”
“We enjoyed the challenge of building the vessels and were pleased that the Port Phillip Sea pilots chose to keep the project within Australia.”
