ABFC Cape Jervis, named after Cape Jervis in South Australia, is a Cape-class patrol boat of the marine unit of the Australian Border Force.[1]

The ship was the fifth of eight Cape-class patrol boats to be delivered to the Australian Border Force. The boat, built by Austal in Henderson, Western Australia, had its keel laid in January 2014, was launched in October 2014 and was delivered in March 2015.[1]

Austal was awarded a $350 million contract to construct eight Cape-class patrol boats for the Australian Border Force to replace the Bay-class patrol boats in 2011, with the eight boats delivered between 2013 and 2015.[2][3]
