The $126 million contract to build two Cape-Class patrol boats for the Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard was awarded to Austal in 2019.[1] The two boats, Scarborough and Port of Spain, where delivered in May 2021 and reached Trinidad and Tobago on 7 July that year.[2]
The two vessels were commissioned into the Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard in November 2021 by the prime minister of Trinidad and Tobago, Keith Rowley. Delivery of the ships had been expected in 2020 but had been delayed because of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
