The Barentshav class of offshore patrol vessels will consist of three vessels powered by liquefied natural gas. Ordered for the Norwegian Coast Guard, their main tasks will be EEZ patrol, fishery inspection, search and rescue as well as tug readiness along the shore of Norway which is seeing increasing traffic from tankers.
The hull is a Vik-Sandvik design VS 794 CGV. built by Myklebust Verft and operated by Remøy Management on behalf of the Norwegian Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard expects a 90% decrease in NOx fume releases, and a 20% decrease in CO2 releases compared to a conventionally powered vessel of similar size.
The Barentshav class will be equipped ready for the NATO Submarine Rescue System.

I have gone for that 40mm gun because, Norway have a couple off them in their storage, after previous generation of Coast Guard ships and the old Oslo class. They need maybe to be upgraded a bit.
