New North Sea patrol vessel delivered to Netherlands Coastguard
The patrol vessel Enforcer was delivered for Netherlands Coastguard operations in the North Sea under a charter arrangement with owner Multraship. Multraship will provide the navigation crew and maintenance, while government and customs personnel can embark for inspection and enforcement missions. A wave-piercing bow helps the ship reach 27 knots, and two fast tenders support boarding operations. Enforcer can also perform secondary towing and firefighting tasks, giving the expanding coastguard mission a flexible platform without transferring vessel ownership to the state for year-round maritime security.
