MRTP 24/U

The MRTP 24/U is a fast patrol boat designed and built by Dearsan Shipyard for the Turkish Navy and other navies. It is primarily used for coastal patrol, anti-piracy, and maritime security operations.

Developed as part of Turkey's advanced naval modernization programs in the late 2000s, the MRTP 24 platform was engineered to deliver high-speed littoral interdiction and light combat capabilities using advanced composite materials. The platform entered active service in the mid-2010s, securing key export contracts with nations such as Qatar, which integrated the heavily armed variants into its coastal defense forces. Throughout their operational deployment, these vessels have been utilized for intensive border surveillance, anti-smuggling operations, and critical infrastructure protection in the Aegean Sea and the Persian Gulf. Today, the MRTP 24/U continues to serve as a highly agile asset in modern naval inventories, representing a successful Turkish design in the export market for fast attack and patrol craft.
