Patrol Craft
This category is separated into sub-categories based on patrol craft roles. Use the drop down menu under Patrol Craft to select type of craft.
Patrol Craft Characteristics
Patrol craft can be designed for use in Riverine and Estuary (brown water), Coastal (green water) or Offshore (blue water) environments.
Riverine patrol craft are usually shallow draught and may be used for personnel and equipment transport, landing craft roles, tactical support and high speed assault.
Patrol Craft Roles
Patrol boats are usually operated by a navy, coast guard or police forces. Small size and relatively low cost make them one of the most common types of warship in the world.
Fast patrol boats are used by government agencies involved in maritime and port surveillance, coastal and offshore surveillance and law enforcement missions.
Offshore Patrol Craft
Offshore patrol craft are typically between 25 metre (80 feet) and 50 metre (160 feet) in length. Modern designs of offshore patrol craft can exceed 30 knots.
Besides coastal defence duties these craft can carry out various border protection roles including anti-smuggling, anti-piracy, fisheries patrols, immigration and law enforcement.
