Public description

Midshore patrol vessels provide Canadian Coast Guard patrol and maritime-security support close to shore and in regional waters. They support fisheries enforcement, safety, search-and-rescue support and other government maritime tasks. Their value is persistent patrol availability rather than heavy endurance or combat capability.
