Norway,Oslo fjord soon to be safer than ever with the Ballistic high speed boat RIB

November 16th, 2007 | Posted in Ribs | No Comments »

Having only announced a few weeks ago our Ballistic RIBs (high speed boat Manufacturers) massive achievement in supplying boats to the South African police force, It comes as a pleasant surprise that we have done it again…….The police that patrol the Oslo fjord have chosen a Ballistic 7.8 RIB as the tool of choice to do the Job!

The deal agreed yesterday was really good news for Ballistic Norway who has negotiated the deal with the water based side of the crime fighting police force in Oslo.

We are told that the Police tested no less that 7 other makes of RIB and high speed boat before arriving at the decision that the Ballistic really was the best for their needs! Other RIBs up for consideration included the Goldfish 25, Valiant 850, Rupert RIB, Arctic blue, and the Zodiac.

The Ballistic high speed patrol boat is due to be in action in March 2008 when hopefully we can show you some more pictures.

For those of you that can read Norwegian here is a link to an article produced in Oslo.

Follo politidistrikt har testet og tenkt, testet og tenkt. Nå har de endelig bestemt seg.

Til våren blir distriktets betjenter blant de raskeste på fjorden i en spesialbygd Ballistic 780, trolig med to Evinrude 250 HK High Output-motorer.

Det skriver magasinet Båtliv.

- Det betyr mye å levere en slik båt til en så proff bruker som politiet. Dette bekrefter kvaliteten. Den tåler høy fart i værharde forhold, sier Odd Erik Aks i Ballistic Sportboats i Oslo til E24.

Minst 650.000

Selv om Follo politidistrikt ikke ønsker å oppgi hva de har gitt for fartsvindunderet, betyr det uten tvil gode penger i kassen hos Ballistic Sportboats.

En standardbåt uten spesialutstyr av den typen Follo-politiet har kjøpt koster nemlig rundt 650.000 kroner.

- Dette er selvfølgelig avhengig av blant annet motor. Skal du ha dobbel installasjon kan du legge på 100.000 kroner til, sier Aks.

Politibåten klargjøres for to motorer og vil ha doble bensintanker. Dette gir den flytende patruljen en enorm rekkevidde.

Testvinner

Båten nådde helt til topps da den ble testet av Båtliv i fjor. Magasinets utsendte var innom tre land på 24 timer, og toppfarten var på rundt 50 knop.

Les flere detaljer fra testen her.

Ballistic-båtene konstrueres i England, og produseres ved et verft i Cape Town, Sør-Afrika. Politidistrikt verden over er viktige kunder.

- Verftet har nylig levert en serie på 10 båter til politiet i Cape Town, forteller Aks.

Lang kyst

Follo politidistrikt dekker kysten på østre side av Oslofjorden, en strekning som omfatter kommunene Vestby, Frogn, Nesodden og Oppegård, inkludert byene Son og Drøbak.

JBT Marine announces that Ballistic RIBs win a 9 RIB tender for the South African Police. Many of you will already know that Ballistic RIBs are well liked by Harbour masters, Port authorities, fishery protection, drug enforcement teams and many other commercial operators. I am pleased to say that we have done it again!

As with all RIBs from Ballistic we are used to building in tight time frames to meet the customer demands. Again this order of High speed Ribs has been delivered in record time which is great news for the SAP (South African police) who are already using these impressively appointed vessels in the harshest of conditions fighting crime.
