According to the report sent to the Legislative Yuan by the Taiwan authorities' "Marine Commission" and pointed out that the "Marine Guardian Administration" plans to build four patrol ships with a maximum tonnage of 4,000 tons and 12 patrol ships with a 600 tons class. The first ship will be completed and delivered in December.

The report of the "Marine Commission" claims that Taiwan is surrounded by the sea and the international waters has been volatile and changeable in recent years. Neighboring countries and regions have continued to strengthen the energy of sea patrol in order to win maritime rights and interests. However, the "Coast Guard Administration" faces problems such as insufficient energy of large ships, the impact of old ships on efficiency, and the complex management of ship shapes. Therefore, according to the "Progress of the Coast Guard Ship Development Plan" approved by the Taiwan authorities, a superior performance will be planned.

According to the report, the "Coast Guard Administration" costs more than 10 billion yuan (NT$, the same below) and will build 4 4,000-ton patrol ships, which are larger than the Kaohsiung and Yilan ships with the current maximum tonnage of the Coast Guard. The first ship is expected to be completed and delivered in December this year, and the second ship will also start construction in July. These four ships will be built by Taiwan International Shipbuilding Company and will become the largest tonnage ships of the "Coast Guard Administration" in the future.

In addition, the "Coast Guard Administration" spent 12 billion yuan to build 12 600-ton patrol ships, which will be undertaken by CITIC Shipbuilding Company. The first ship, Anping, was launched in April this year and is expected to be completed and delivered before December this year. The second ship was originally scheduled to be placed in May this year, but the progress was ahead of schedule and was completed in February this year and is expected to be launched in November.

The 600-ton patrol ship of the "Coast Guard Administration" is usually equipped with Zhenhai rockets, 20 machine cannons and water cannons to facilitate maritime law enforcement, and combat personnel can also be arranged to board the ship during wartime.
