Silver Ships, Theodore, Ala., recently completed the first deliveries under the Naval Sea Systems Command of seven 36-foot open center console (OCC) vessels and two 26-foot OCCs, under the Naval Special Warfare Surface Support Craft (NSWSSC) contract.
The Navy has also conducted pre-delivery inspection and testing (PDIT) of three vessel variants included in the contract.
The contract entails construction of five different vessel variants of the Ambar series Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs).
The surface support craft (SSC) are 26'-foot and 36-foot aluminum deep-vee hulled boats with a protective collar. Both series have a multipurpose deck for carrying various payloads or mission gear.
The craft are used from inland bays and waterways to deep water over-the-horizon transits, in all operating conditions and weather. The vessels will support the Naval Special Warfare community via ocean diver and swimmer support, medical transport, vessel towing and water airdrop training, among other missions.
Silver Ships has also delivered the first SPC-LE2 vessel variants to Coast Guard Station Miami Beach; Coast Guard Station South Padre Island, Texas; and the USCG Maritime Law Enforcement Academy in Charleston, S.C.
