28 July 2005 INTERMARINE TO
LAUNCH THE “G124 CAVATORTO” FAST PATROL BOAT FOR THE
ITALIAN GUARDIA DI FINANZA Today, July 28,2005, at 7.00 p.m., Rodriquez’s Intermarine shipyard in Sarzana will launch the Bigliani Class VI Series Fast Patrol Boat “G124 Cavatorto”. The “G124 Cavatorto” will be formally delivered in approximately 8 months and is an evolution of the Bigliani class training vessels, “Marino” e “Pedretti” developed for the Italian Navy in 1998. She is a 27 meter, 100% composite vessel and is capable of speeds up to 40 knots. Her highly sophisticated construction along with Intermarine’s demanding quality standards combined with the needs of the Guardia di Finanza have resulted in a vessel that is ideally suited to her role as a coastal patrol vessel to fight against illicit smuggling and contraband activities. The launching cerimony is been presided over by Gen. Walter Peruzzo, commander of the Guardia di Finanza Regione Liguria and by the Director of the Intermarine Yard, Mr. Edoardo Cossutta. This latest launch is part of a contract with the Guardia di Finanza for the supply of ten 27 meter patrol vessels along with five 35 meter patrol boats. The G124 Cavatorto is the 9th 27 meter unit. The first, the second, the third and the fourth have been delivered and are already in operation. In addition to this contract, Intermarine in cooperation with Baglietto is also building a series of fourteen 13.20 meter fast interceptor craft (45 knots) for the Guardia di Finanza. Intermarine has also been awarded a contract by the Italian Navy for the midlife refit of the “Lerici Class”minehunters previously built by Intermarine. In cooperation with CINS and Navalcarena, Intermarine was awarded a contract by the Italian Navy for the refitting of the Grecale frigate.
