- Provincial marine services authority operating aluminium utility boats
Overview
A provincial authority renewing its fleet of aluminium utility boats used for patrol, medical transport, and logistics required a batch of dependable four-stroke outboards with spares and basic training material.
Challenge
The boats operate from remote stations with limited fuel quality and minimal workshop facilities, so engine simplicity, fuel economy, and availability of consumables were more important than peak performance.
Solution
| Item | Model | Qty |
|---|---|---|
| Outboard motor | Mercury 60 EFI 4-stroke, long shaft | 12 |
| Outboard motor | Mercury 115 ELPT 4-stroke | 6 |
| Rigging | Remote control boxes, cables, gauges, fuel tanks and lines, propellers | 18 sets |
| Spares | Two-year consumables kits: impellers, spark plugs, filters, gear oil, anodes | 18 sets |
Scope of supply
Specification advice by boat size, pre-delivery inspection with serial-number list, crated packing, CIF Port Moresby, and an English-language operation and maintenance guide for station staff.
Outcome
All boats were commissioned by local staff using the supplied rigging kits. The authority has requested a quotation for a second province.
Customer names are withheld; the case describes a typical supply scope built from products in the MARS catalogue.
