Volunteer rescue organisation Auckland Coastguard christened the newest addition to its vessel fleet on Thursday, August 8.
Designed by Naiad and built by Alloy Cats, Trillian Trust Rescue has a length of 15 metres and is powered by twin Scania 520kW engines.
The NZ$1.6 million (US$1.03 million) boat was purchased entirely with funds generated from donations to Auckland Coastguard.
