In a small ceremony, the boat was then immediately handed over to the Solomon Islands, an island nation in the South Pacific. The <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Guardian<\/span>-class has a length of 39.5 metres and is based on the designs of the <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Bay-<\/span>, <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Armidale<\/span> and <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Cape-<\/span>Classes.<br \/>\nAs part of the Pacific Patrol Boat Replacement Program, a total of 21 boats are being built in Australia and donated to friendly neighbours in the region. The overall programme agreed in 2016 has a contract value of 335 million Australian dollars. The programme will support twelve island nations, including Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Micronesia and Vanuatu. The RSIPV now handed over <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Taro<\/span> is after the <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Gizo<\/span>which was delivered in November 2019, the second and final boat for the Solomon Islands. Both boats will be used by the country's police force in future.<br \/>\nDespite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Austal does not believe that the delivery of all 21 units ordered by the end of 2023 is jeopardised.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10747\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10747\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10747\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-11-Polizeiboot-2-mfo.jpg\" alt=\"Vince Connelly, MP, (l.) hands over the deed of gift to Robert Sisilo, High Commissioner of the Solomon Islands\" width=\"1500\" height=\"743\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-11-Polizeiboot-2-mfo.jpg 1500w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-11-Polizeiboot-2-mfo-300x149.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-11-Polizeiboot-2-mfo-1024x507.jpg 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-11-Polizeiboot-2-mfo-768x380.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-11-Polizeiboot-2-mfo-1080x535.jpg 1080w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-11-Polizeiboot-2-mfo-750x372.jpg 750w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-11-Polizeiboot-2-mfo-1140x565.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10747\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vince Connelly, MP, (l.) hands over the deed of gift to Robert Sisilo, High Commissioner of the Solomon Islands<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>Text: mb; Photos: Austal Australia<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Die australische Werft Austal hat das mittlerweile zehnte Patrouillenboot der Guardian-Klasse an das Verteidigungsministerium des Landes \u00fcbergeben.
