Damen Stan Patrol 4207
The Dutch shipbuilding firm The Damen Group, designs and manufactures a range of patrol vessels, of various sizes, including the Damen Stan 4207 Patrol Vessels.[1][2] The Damen Stan patrol vessel designs' names include a four digit code, where the first two digits are the vessel's length, in metres, and the second two digits are its width.[1]
Over a dozen nations have classes of vessels based on the Damen Stan 4207 patrol vessel design. Operators include:
- Albanian Coast Guard (4)[3][4]
- Royal Bahamas Defence Force (4)[5][6]
- Barbados Coast Guard[1][7][8][9]
- Bulgarian Border Police[10]
- Canadian Coast Guard[11][12][13][14][15]
- Honduran Navy[1]
- Jamaican Defence Force[1][7][16]
- Mexican Navy[1][17][18]
- Netherlands Coast Guard[19]
- Nicaraguan Navy
- United Kingdom Border Agency
- Venezuelan Navy
Some variants are equipped with deck guns, while others are equipped for peacetime duties like search and rescue, fishery protection, environmental monitoring, or intercepting smugglers.[20]

The popularity of Damen vessels in the region is surprising considering the decidedly modest capabilities of the basic vessels. Building to standard designs (known as Standard Patrol or SPa), Damen's construction process enables vessels to be fabricated in virtual kit form and assembled and integrated in a relatively short space of time.
