RB-M with keel, hull, and deck assembled, prior to deck house installation
Originally uploaded by uscgpress
We have ended a very fast day and a half trip to Seattle. While there, we stopped by the Response Boat - Medium, Project Office at Kvichak Marine Services which is partnering with Marinette Marine Corporation to produce the RB-M at two assembly lines, one in Green Bay, WI and the other in Kent, WA.
PRO CO Scott Washburn and his crew gave us a super tour of the facility and the entire production process including our rigorous inspection process prior to delivery. We will posting some more pictures and video. One of the interesting things about this project is the interaction of the contractor provided logistics support and our new small boat maintenance program. We have a chance to compare and contract our existing ALMIS system with the RB-M system to extract the very best functionality for our ultimate Logistics Information Management System.
Great job by all of our folks in Kent.
