The Ministry of Interior of Qatar announced that 3 rapid response boats will be procured from ARES Shipyard. Deliveries will begin in 2023. In this context, ARES Shipyard and Qatar have developed relations. In the past six years, ARES has successfully delivered a new generation patrol boat fleet of 31 vessels for the Qatar Coast Guard.
The advanced composite hulled ARES 40 rapid response boat can carry out rapid response and escort missions as well as human smuggling and anti-smuggling operations. In this context, the boat has a remarkable speed capability of 60 knots.
