International cooperation

[edit]

In July 2025 the Somaliland Coast Guard signed a cooperation agreement with Taiwan's Coast Guard Administration.[7]

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.[8] 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.[9]
