Encompix customer Kvichak Marine Industries Inc. will share with a Wisconsin company a multi-year U.S. Coast Guard contract that could be worth up to a total of $600 million.
Seattle-based Kvichak, which builds high-speed aluminum boats, will share the contract with the Manitowoc Co. (NYSE: MTW) of Manitowoc, Wis., to build up to 250 Response Boat-Medium (RB-M) vessels. The boats are expected to be delivered beginning in the first half of 2008.
"This is far and away the largest contract award our company has ever seen," said Brian Thomas, COO, Kvichak Marine. "We are thrilled to be the recipient and looking forward to it. I think we're up to it."
The RB-Ms will replace the Coast Guard's original fleet of 208 41-foot utility boats, which entered service in 1973.
