ST-610 patrol vessel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On November 24, 2004 the Norwegian Coast Guard signed contract for 6 new patrol vessel of the ST-610 type. They will be delivered 12-14 months after the contract was signed. The vessels will be leased for 15 years. These purpose-built vessels will replace the five oldest vessels in the inner coast guard (No:indre kystvakt). They will provide significantly improved capabilities in all regards compared to the vessels they will replace. This includes seaworthiness (they are larger), towing capacity, fire fighting and environmental protection (collecting oil spills). The aft deck is for winch only (not for helicopter landing).
