The replacement vessel will also be used for Boat Licencing, and also assistance and rescues within the Tamar River. In addition to this, the replacement vessel will also be available to be towed anywhere in the state for search and rescue within our rivers lakes and dams, as needed. The vessel will also fill an identified gap in bushfire evacuation from our coastal areas.
