Project history: In 1977 Naval Material Command requested two new types of EEZ patrol vessels, three of ice-strengthened type and four of normal type. Later budget was cut and only three type 320 ships were built. Only Nordkapp is strengthened for ice navigation. Ships can able for patrol, fire-fighting, anti-pollution, meteorological duties and can serve as escorts in wartime (they can be fitted with 6 Penguin Mk 2 SSMs).
