Offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) are small boats designed for coastal defense. These vessels are operated by the navy, marine police, coast guard, or customs.
In 1994, the United Nations Convention on the Law of Sea granted sea rights within 200 nautical miles of the country as exclusive economic zone to benefit from the natural resources. The need to patrol the territorial waters is a major factor driving the offshore patrol vessel market. Increased terrorism activities and drug trafficking is also a primary driver of the offshore patrol vessel market. Immigrant crisis in the Mediterranean region in Europe witnessed an increase in patrolling activities, led by France, Italy, and Greece, thereby boosting the offshore patrol vessel market. OPVs are cost-effective as they are small hub vessels and hence, are more effective for the defense budget as against larger warfare vessels. The compact size of the OPV enables easy and quick maneuvering and hence, it is highly preferred in order to patrol the coastline. Moreover, the offshore patrol vessel are also being used for counter narcotics, pollution control, search & rescue operations during inundation, flood, and other calamities. OPVs are utilized in diverse situations, as they are robust, and their demand is expected to rise in the near future. China’s expansion into the Indian Ocean by developing more than 3000 acres land is expected to boost the offshore patrol vessel market. Asia Pacific countries such as India, Taiwan, South Korea, and Indonesia are strategizing to improve their offshore patrol vessels to improve their defense against the rising intrusion of China in the Indian Ocean.
