ARES 42 Hector
Category
Marine
Thirteen ARES 42 Hector-class multirole patrol boats entered service with the Turkish Coast Guard and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus from 2013. The vessels are tasked with maritime border protection, search and rescue, anti-smuggling, counter-trafficking operations, and the protection of coastal infrastructure. The Hector's multirole design allows rapid mission reconfiguration, making it well-suited to the diverse constabulary and security demands placed on Turkish Coast Guard units operating across the
Aegean and Mediterranean.
