Japan Arms Seychelles with High-Speed Patrol Boat | Seychelles News

Japan just handed over a high-speed, 50-knot Fast Response Boat named the Constant to the Seychelles Coast Guard — part of a $5 million initiative to boost maritime security across six East African nations. Built for endurance and night ops, this vessel will patrol Seychelles’ massive 1-million-square-kilometer EEZ, tackling illegal fishing, piracy, and trafficking. Japan also trained local technicians to maintain the boat, ensuring long-term sustainability. This move underscores Seychelles’ critical role in Indian Ocean security and strengthens regional cooperation. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
