New fisheries patrol vessel for KI
Media Release | 16 October 2008
Fisheries enforcement capabilities have been further boosted with the arrival of a new $200,000 fisheries patrol vessel at Kingscote, Kangaroo Island.
Agriculture, Food and Fisheries Minister Rory McEwen says the purpose-built, 7.2 metre twin-hulled sailfish catamaran FPV Cygnet arrived at Kingscote this week.
Mr McEwen says the FPV Cygnet is fitted with state-of-the-art electronics for navigation, plotting and radar.
"FPV Cygnet will provide an on-water-presence capable of taking up to four officers out to 30 nautical miles offshore," Mr McEwen says.
"It makes a formidable compliance tool and a great addition to the PIRSA Fisheries fleet.
"FPV Cygnet will be used to check commercial and recreational fishers and to investigate any suspected breaches of fisheries legislation.
"During operations, the FPV Cygnet can interface with the State's large off-shore fisheries patrol vessel Southern Ranger, maximising its effectiveness."
The FPV Cygnet replaces the previous vessel, providing the capability to circumnavigate Kangaroo Island.
