The Jan Mayen class is a Norwegian Coast Guard ship class built in the 2020s, that was designed and ordered to replace the ageing Nordkapp-class offshore patrol vessels.

Considerably larger than their predecessors, the hulls of these ships are constructed at the Vard Tulcea shipyard in Romania.^[1].

They are armed with a single Bofors 57 mm L/70 gun for use against surface and airborne targets, as well as .50 calibre machine guns for use against soft surface targets^[2].

Ships in class

The ships are named after the Norwegian arctic islands Jan Mayen, Bjørnøya and Hopen.
