Swedish Coast Guard
The Swedish Coast Guard (Swedish: Kustbevakningen) is a Swedish civilian government agency tasked with:
The Swedish Coast Guard carries out some of its surveillance by air (from its base at Skavsta Airport south-west of Stockholm), and in the winter-time by hovercraft and snowmobiles on the ice-covered waters of the Bothnian Bay from its Luleå station. The Coast Guard also has regular maritime duties in Vänern, Europe's third largest lake, operating out of Vänersborg.
The Coast Guard has 26 coastal stations, including an aviation coastal station. The stations fall under four regional areas; with the regional headquarters located in Härnösand, Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Karlskrona respectively. The four management centers control the daily operational activities.
The national operational control is co-located with the Swedish Maritime Administration, which is responsible for the Swedish Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre (JRCC), and the Swedish navy at Kärringberget navalbase in Gothenburg.
The Coast Guard's central headquarters is located in the historic 17th century naval city of Karlskrona, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The total number of Coast Guard employees across the country amounts to around 800.
Neither Coast Guard ships or officers carry military weapons. Instead each officer is equipped with a Glock 17, ASP baton, OC spray and handcuffs.[citation needed]
The Coast Guard currently has 10 ships which combine the characteristics of both environmental protection vessels and surveillance ships, as well as emergency tow ships.
