Composition: (16 FPBs)Uruguay – supposed to be downsized to 10 FPBs

Plans: • no additional coastal units• redeployment of FPBs (3 stations instead of 4), closer to Haitian Coast Guard bases

MONUSCO

MONUSCO: RIBs & Speed boats on Kivu Lake

FARDC Naval Force: Capacity Building

Efficiencies: Joint patrols with URUPAC (very limited)

Challenges: Indoctrination (no expertise at all) Lack of riverine capabilities Lack of logistics (provided by UN only) Large water spaces to cover (15000 of waterways

& Great Lakes area)

UNOCI 2 boats (part of HQ support coy in Abidjan)

Limited capacity No protection against small arms Not adapted in time of crisis

Proposal for replacement by more capable assets Fast Patrol boats

and additional crews

Protection against small arms

Useful in time of crisis

UNOCI

Border monitoring – not possible UNOCI and UNMIL investigated

possibility for waterborne patrols on Cavally river (border Cote d’Ivoire/Liberia)

Complicated waterways (rapids) – not possible

UNOCI – Riverine Boats

To provide riverine transportation by waterways as per reinforcement and

evacuation plan
