In addition to the usual tasks of a blue water navy, the Colombian Navy (Spanish: Armada de la República de Colombia - "ARC") also performs Coast Guard duties, has shared responsibility for patrolling the extensive Colombian network of rivers, and includes the Marine Infantry (IM). Furthermore, its littoral/riverine component is relatively large when compared with the more traditional navies of other countries.
Due to this aggregation of duties, some vessels perform routinely and indistinctly as coast guard/combat patrol, particularly those mid-size, lightly armed vessels, and can occasionally be found classified as either Surface combat or Coast Guard or even Logistics/General transport across different sources, even in official documents from the ARC itself. Also, many of the lighter patrol/harbor patrol boats may be assigned or reassigned duties across the different branches with little or no notice depending on service needs.
As the ARC has embarked in a program of modernization since 2000, a better separation and categorization of the different vessels has ensued, with many vessels being re-numbered or reclassified, which makes for occasionally conflicting references. This article tries to use the latest denominations whenever possible, but there may still be overlaps.[1][2][3][4]
The tables below use the following key:

The general role performed by the vessel; In most cases this matches with a standard type, however there are cases where the ARC may use a previously owned vessel from a specific type in a different role |
| Group |
The general group classification used by the ARC, this matches in most cases with the formal class of the vessel, and its used in its pennant number in the case of major units; note that the ARC may group multiple vessels of different formal classes under a single group |

The NF ( Spanish: Nodriza Fluvial) group consists of a progressively improved series of boats, known as "Nodrizas" ("mothership") for armored patrol, support & re-provisioning of smaller piranha-class boats deployed from and around them. The first group of these, classified here as generic Nodriza Fluvial include a motley mix of older gunboats or armored tugs. These boats, reconditioned in their new standardized role, provided the foundations during the late 90's and 2000's for the R&D of the PAF-series boats, for which the PAF-IV is the current state-of-the art showcase.

These are slightly different boats from a similar series. Built in the Astilleros Navales de Cartagena in 1952-54, deactivated in mid-80s, reactivated from storage in mid-1990s for littoral/riverine patrol and interdiction.

| Combat Fast Boats |
|
|
|
|
|
|
These are light, fast combat patrol boats usually of fiberglass reinforced construction, outboard dual engines and fitted with additional communications and electronics; It's common for these boats to be deployed and supported from one of the larger CF/NF class vessels.
As of 2003, [4] judging by the pennant/hull numbers, there was an estimated number of 167: BC-1000 to BC-1041 (41) and BT-1100 to BT-1226 (126). However, a firm number is difficult to establish due to combat and service losses, some hulls may have been rebuilt locally, as well as it's likely additional batches have been acquired, and/or added to via configuration of locally built hulls with foreign-bought higher-end components.

The ARC has regrouped and renamed a few different classifications of light, fast boats into a single, more generic 'BP' denomination. These include from the usual light outboard harbor patrol boat, Boston-Whaler style, up to a few Midnight Express go-fast type boats used for interdiction. The exact number is difficult to determine, but judging from hull numbers, as of 2007, there were 77, from BP-421 to BP-498. It is expected that additional boats have been added.

BI: Instruction Boat ( Spanish: Bote Instrucción). These include typically 3 main types of light boats, plus some other devices. As of 2007, judging from hull numbers, there were apx 34, from BI-01 to BI-45 (some gaps in the numbering). [2] It is possible a few additional boats have been added in this class, but likely not many as there have not been any known major changes in the navy training programs recently.

BA: Administrative Boat ( Spanish: Bote Administrativo). These include different types of light fiberglass-outboards, a few nonstandard or civilian recreation types and even some boats confiscated from drug interdiction operations and assigned to the ARC after the final legal disposition. The exact number is difficult to determine, but judging from hull numbers as of 2007, [2] there were apx 35, from BA-03 to BA-31 + about a dozen or so ex-drug interdiction waiting to be formally given hull numbers. It is possible some more boats have been added in this class, but likely not many as there haven’t been major known changes in naval bases or posts recently.

- ^ a b Note that the roles Offshore patrol vs. Coastal patrol are not uniformly defined across different navies. For the purposes of this table, the OPV-heavy vessel is considered the heavier and more oceanic role, drawing the line arbitrarily at a displacement of 500 tonnes vs. the CPV-medium. Nevertheless, many CPV vessels are capable of oceanic navigation within reason, and OPV vessels are also routinely used in coastal patrol missions.
