BREMERTON, Wash. — [MAY 25, 2026] — SAFE Boats International (SAFE), a leading American manufacturer of high-performance aluminum vessels for military, law enforcement, rescue, and security applications, is pleased to announce a new partnership with CYLINDER as SAFE Boats’ representative in Greece.
Founded in 1996, SAFE Boats International designs and manufactures mission-driven aluminum vessels trusted by military, law enforcement, and first responder agencies around the world. SAFE is recognized for building rugged, mission-proven platforms engineered for demanding operational environments.
As maritime security, border protection, offshore energy, disaster response, and special operations requirements continue to evolve throughout the Mediterranean, SAFE Boats believes its expertise in advanced welded aluminum vessel construction offers a strong complement to regional operators seeking highly durable, low-maintenance, high-performance maritime platforms.
While much of the regional market has historically centered around fiberglass and GRP RHIB platforms, SAFE Boats’ aluminum vessel technology provides significant advantages in durability, lifecycle value, survivability, mission flexibility, and long-term operational readiness — particularly for agencies operating in demanding coastal, offshore, and high-utilization environments.
CYLINDER is a Greece-based company specializing in advanced solutions supporting the defense, security, emergency response, and civil protection sectors. Through this partnership, CYLINDER will support SAFE Boats’ presence and strategic engagement within Greece and the broader regional market.
“CYLINDER brings strong understanding of the regional market and shares SAFE Boats’ commitment to supporting mission-focused operators,” said Rob Goley, Chief Revenue & Customer Officer of SAFE Boats International. “We are pleased to welcome them as a representative of SAFE Boats in Greece.”
Nikolaos Kiriakides, Founder and Managing Director of CYLINDER, added, “We are proud to partner with SAFE Boats International and represent a company globally recognized for operational credibility, mission-proven performance, and high-quality American manufacturing. We believe SAFE Boats’ advanced aluminum vessel capabilities offer significant value to operators throughout Greece and the Mediterranean region.”
This partnership represents an important step in SAFE Boats International’s continued international growth and reflects the company’s focus on delivering proven maritime capability to operators facing increasingly complex operational demands worldwide.
