Belgian Navy will commit these 52 meters vessels to patrol, monitoring, law enforcement and search & rescue missions. Their mission area will be located in the North Sea and the exclusive economic zone off the Belgian coast.

The design, construction and commissioning of the new patrol vessels should take about 2 years.
