Similar vessels are currently operational with navies and coast guards of Jamaica, Barbados, the Dutch Caribbean, Honduras, the Canadian coastguard and the US coastguard.
The US coastguard has recently received five Sentinel-class fast response cutters, out of a series of 58, which are based on the same Damen Stan Patrol design.
