Well everyone knows the Stan Patrol 4207's operated by multiple nations. The first series for the Dutch Caribbean Coast Guard from 1998 will be replaced by 2018 so i decited to draw a replacement programme.
I used the base of the SIGMA 7511 drawn by Acelanceloet and upgraded her to a Patrol Cutter.
The Area of Operation will be the (Dutch) Caribbean [Aruba/Curacao/Bonaire/St.Maarten/Saba & Sint Eustatius] and the sea arround.Due to the reformation of the Dutch Caribbean since 10-10-10 bonaire/saba/sint eustatius became Municipality's of the netherlands.
At the End of 2012 the AS355 helicopters will be replaced by 2 AW-139's.
Also the ''Super Rhibs'' will be replaced in 2016 , one of the options is the Damen Interceptor 1102.
They will be good ships for a growing coast guard with a very large operation area, Crew will be 35 excluding the USCG Boarding Detachment(10) and Dutch boarding team (8) and Helicopter crew (6) The Helicopter will be able to land on the ships and be fastened to the deck but will not be permanantly onboard. So the total crew amount willbe 59.
