Following the hand over and acceptance of six high speed coastal protection ships to the Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard Service Iris Innovations were invited to tender for the supply and support of six submersible inspection camera systems, one for each ship.

The order was placed in October 2009 and handed over during an on site training course held by Iris "in situ" in January 2010.

The craft were all built in the UK by BAE Systems and are integral in the drive to control piracy in that part of the Caribbean Ocean and at the same time re establish the Trinidadians as a proper "Blue Water" Navy again.

The Scubar Inspection Systems are a valuable tool in the fight against smuggling and as Chief Petty Officer Cleveland Phillip for the T & T Coast Guard quoted 

"These new fast patrol boats are part of an integrated effort on behalf of the T&T Coast Guard service to reduce piracy in our territorial waters, Scubar will be a vital tool in combatting this threat to sailers and merchant ships by enabling boarding parties to search any suspicious looking craft quickly and effortlessly."

Tony Digweed, Iris Innovations sales Director explained " This is an excellent contract to secure for Iris, it helps to cement Scubar as the natural choice for sub surface hull inspections in the continuing fight against both terrorism and piracy."

Six Scubar-Pro systems are now commissioned and in full service on these fine new ships.
