<\/figure>\n\n\n\n”The offshore patrol vessels are built in the facilities of our long-term partner shipyards under the leadership and in full accordance with the quality demands of Meyer Turku. The cooperation that started excellently has now proceeded, according to the schedule, into the stage where we get to celebrate reaching one of the milestones of traditional ship construction”, states Tapani Pulli, Deputy CEO of Meyer Turku.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Finnish Border Guard\u2019s operational capacity in the open sea is, for a significant part, based on continuous operation and preparedness of the multifunctional offshore patrol vessels. The offshore patrol vessels are at sea for approximately 330 days of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Currently, the Finnish Border Guard has three operating offshore patrol vessels, of which the offshore patrol vessel Turva, introduced in 2014, is up-to-date. Preparations are made for giving up the two old offshore patrol vessels, when the new vessels are completed. The first new vessel will be completed by the end of 2025, in accordance with the contract, and the second by the end of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The operational capacity of the Finnish Border Guard\u2019s vessels that currently are under construction is significantly better compared to the old vessels. The vessels\u2019 abilities to monitor and response in border surveillance tasks and in control and protection of territorial integrity in connection to it will be improved. Advanced surveillance systems and solutions for data transfer improve maintenance of real-time surveillance information and sharing of it. The new vessels improve the ability to prevent major accidents and the ability to carry out rescue operations. All the vessels have an immediate readiness to control serious environmental accidents and the total oil recovery capacity will be approximately twice the size of the present capacity. The new vessels will produce low emissions and are energy-efficient. Capabilities funded by the Defence Forces will be acquired for the vessels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For further information, please contact:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Finnish Border Guard: Meyer Turku: Head of Communications, Anna Hakala, +358 40 593 7335.
