A patrol boat given to the Fiji Navy by Australia has been damaged while docking only one month after it was handed over.
The RFNS Timo, a Guardian-class patrol boat, was damaged while mooring at the Walu Bay navy pier in Fiji's capital Suva last Thursday. The wharf at Stanley Brown Naval Base, which was struck by the RFNS Timo, was also funded by the Australian government as part of a redevelopment project to ensure it could berth Guardian-class patrol boats.
