Steber International were pleased and proud to launch the 5th Navy boat, completing the current Navy contract. This vessel, named the MV Kara is destined for Jervis Bay where it will be carrying out important Navy work. The project has been remarkably successful, said Alan Steber.
Stringent commissioning trials took place on the Manning River, which included all electrical, electronics, engineering, decibel, speed, cornering and handling, prior to the 43′ Navy boat being navigated across the Harrington Bar and south to Jervis Bay.
Following delivery of each of the five boats, Alan has personally conducted the training and vessel familiarization to Defence and Navy personnel.
