Swedish Coast Guard
We often see the Coast Guard’s planes at Göteborg City. It
is one of many useful community activities based here.
In terms of organisation, Skavsta (Nyköping) is the home base
of the Coast Guard Air Patrol. Göteborg City, however, is a
natural place to start when carrying out work in the West Coast
region. The Coast Guard Air Patrol’s many duties include:
- Sea rescue
- Environmental surveillance (eg oil spills)
- Surveillance of fishing Border control
The Coast Guard Air Patrol currently operates CASA 212
aircraft and the brand new Dash 8Q-300 (picture to the right).
