Hovercraft
The Swedish Coast Guard has hovercrafts. We use them mainly in northern Sweden during the winter months for transport when ordinary boats cannot get through.
Vessels, aircrafts and other equipment
Our vessels, aircrafts and equipment are the Coast Guard’s primary tools for carrying out our missions. The fleet includes, amongst other things, multi-purpose vessels, environmental protection and surveillance vessels, hovercraft and various types of boats, which are further reinforced by our fleet of aircraft.
