BN190 FPC903 Gha­na Poli­ce P1

 

A Fast Patrol Craft (FPC), also known as Swift Boat, is a rela­ti­ve­ly small naval ves­sel gener­al­ly desig­ned for coas­tal defen­se duties. They may be ope­ra­ted by a nati­ons navy, coast guard, or poli­ce for­ce, and may be inten­ded for mari­ne (blue water) and/or estu­a­ri­ne or river (brown water) environments.

They are com­mon­ly found enga­ged in various bor­der pro­tec­ti­on roles, inclu­ding anti-smug­gling, anti-pira­cy, fis­heries patrols, and immi­gra­ti­on law enfor­ce­ment. They are also often cal­l­ed upon to par­ti­ci­pa­te in res­cue operations.

They may be broad­ly clas­si­fied as Insho­re Patrol Crafts (IPC’s) and Off­sho­re Patrol Crafts (OPC’s).
