History Snapshot
Swiftships’ first patrol boats were born during the Vietnam War. We became a key supplier of “Swift Boats” to the US Navy during the Vietnam War. The mission objective of the Swift Boat was to provide the Navy with a fast boat that could patrol the many miles of river shores for enemy soldiers − The Swiftships’ Patrol Boat allowed navigation of short river channels that were inaccessible to most small boat designs at the time. We delivered 193 patrol boats to the US Navy throughout the conflict, creating a reputation as an excellent and trusted supplier of shallow water hulls.
Since than, we have built close to 500 patrol vessels that supports the US and over 50 foreign governments. To read more about our achievements, read “History and Milestones“, and discover our other “Patrol Vessels“.
Of course, we can build your vessels in our location! But if for some economic or strategic reasons, you choose vessels’ construction at your location – Swiftships can provide you a full support. We have extensive experience working with international clients on co-production programs, and we offer customized solutions to meet your needs. Learn more…
