Modernization
According to the long-term defence development plan the Merevägi will receive some new capabilities. Of those new warfare capabilities the procurement of multirole fast patrol boats will be a priority. The operational need for such vessels is likely to ensure defence of territorial waters and to improve maritime surveillance. According to the Ministry of Defence such new capability development for the naval forces will cost roughly around 100 million krones. It is not yet certain as to the number or type of vessels which will be procured. In addition to the current capabilities the command and control and shore-to-vessel communications will also be further improved.
