Finally found out what these boats are. They are Cat Flash 2/1907 fast ferries designed by Dutch shipyard Damen:

From the Damen september 2008 report on deliveries:

'The ‘Cat Flash 2’, the second vessel of four Damen Fast Ferries 1907, was delivered in the second
quarter of 2008 to Bourbon Interoil Nigeria Ltd, in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. This low-wash 19-meter
catamaran, of the standard Damen design, was built in Nigeria by West Atlantic Shipyards in Port
Harcourt. The fleet of four catamarans will provide a commuter service of passengers between the
main land and Bonny Island for and on behalf of Nigerian LNG.'

So, are the boats on the picture below used by Bourbon Interoil, or really by the Nigerian military?

...and again we got one more extremly useless and uninformative post in this thread.

Ol'boy, you sound quite pained over nothing. How about a plain " sketchy details, can we have more?", instead of that stupid outburst?.

Since you are so keen on detail why was your last post bereft of any info?
