Our regular focus on the global maritime security sector once again includes reviews of some of the versatile vessels in this sector that are entering service across a broad geographical scope. From the rivers of Siberia to the tropical coastal waters of the Philippines, from the busy cities and towns of Western Europe to the vast region that is the Persian Gulf, naval and maritime law enforcement vessels are continually proving their value.
Various agencies are again represented in the lineup of reviewed vessels. We look at different vessel types such as fast inflatable police boats, army watercraft, a supply vessel, and even a stealth warship for an East Asian naval operator. There are also our regular news roundups covering maritime security vessels as well as those in the related emergency services sector.
Readers are assured that Baird Maritime will continue to maintain a close watch on this vital and continually expanding sector, particularly the highly capable vessels within this sector.
