Equipment edit

In 2011, the Somaliland Coast Guard had extremely limited equipment. Their vessels consisted of two 20-foot motor boats and they were armed with AK-47 rifles and RPG-7 rocket launchers.^[6] In the following decade, the Coast Guard received a total of seven Defender-class boats, four from Italy and three from Sweden. Additionally, the SLCG received three cars from the European Union in 2018.^[7]
