SPECIALIST boatbuilder VT Halmatic is extending its links with Greece by supplying three rigid inflatable boats to be operated from the three fast attack craft being built for the Hellenic Navy.

The high speed RIBs, a smaller version of boats in operation with the Royal Navy, are currently in production and will be equipped to carry out a versatile range of general operations.

Delivery is scheduled for 2003.

Halmatic has previously supplied Greek coastguards with self-righting lifeboats.
