The purpose of the contract is the chartering of offshore fisheries patrol vessel services by EFCA.

The vessel will be deployed primarily as a fisheries patrol vessel, i.e. a platform from which the monitoring, boarding and inspection of fishing vessels and related support and transport vessels will be conducted in International, EU and waters of non-EU countries by authorised fisheries inspectors. Such activities will always be coordinated by an official of EFCA on board of the vessel. In view of possible multipurpose operations in the framework of European cooperation on coastguard functions, the vessel may also be deployed for operations other than fisheries inspection and control.
