In 2010, Korean Coast Guard acquired one NIJ Level III Armoured Patrol Boat from VOGO to extend their mission capabilites in western Northen Limit Line.
Coast Guard's primary concern was to protect our fishermen, to capture illegal fisheries and to counter act against Noarth Korean Maritime Terror activities.
From 2011 to 2014, to secure strong maritime sovereignty and to conduct savalge, patrol and anti terror missions in littoral water,
Korean Coast Guard ordered 4 more units.
Since 2010, total of 5 vessels are in service, and one unit is in product this year and it is scheduled to be delivered in September, 2015.
