This boat was wholly designed and built by destini for the high speed maneuverability and interception requirements of custom, specifically for policing anti-smuggling operations. As a result of the boat?s performance, capabilities, speed (up to 65 knots) and design quality, destini subsequently received good review from an international maritime magazine and therefore destini was able to secure further contracts by various parties. in addition, destini was one of the malaysian pioneers in the manufacturing of boats using more exotic composite materials when it built and delivered 12 units of bullet-proof high speed craft (hspc) for special operations of the marine police (pdrm) in 1986. in 1998, destini built and exported 4 units of an upgraded version of the 9. 65-meter hsi to the royal brunei police (rbp). successfully completing a 20 unit, 13. 0 meter patrol boat contract with marine department in 2000, destini is now applying the technology and know how of its high performance designs in order to capture the niche of the potentially high growth boat market in south east asia, india and middle east.
