A patrol boat (also referred to as a patrol craft, patrol ship, or patrol vessel) is a relatively small naval vessel generally designed for coastal defense, border protection, immigration law enforcement, search and rescue duties. The offshore patrol vessels are usually the smallest ship in a navy's fleet that is large and seaworthy enough to patrol off-shore in the open ocean. They are commonly found engaged in various border protection roles, including anti-smuggling, anti­piracy, fisheries patrols, and immigration law enforcement. They are also often called upon to participate in rescue operations. Since the weapons used can only be held, there are no additional weapons or sufficient refill materials, the new patrol boat is specially designed for interior space improvements for weapons and supplies. To prevent enemy shots from defending the boat, he strengthened it, especially the part near the driver. These patrol boats are piled up for immigration duties to monitor all activities in the South China Sea. This is to prevent illegal immigrants without permits from entering Malaysia at will and also illegal traders from smuggling illicit substances. If this boat is upgraded, national security will be more secure and will make it easier for officers to conduct regular patrols.
