The Ojika-class patrol vessel is a class of PL type patrol vessels of the Japan Coast Guard.

[4][2][Note 1] The design of this class is generally a modified version of Nojima (PL-01), a preceding 1,000-ton class PL being emphasis on air-sea rescue operations.

In addition, a well dock was installed below the helicopter deck to accommodate a high speed launch,[5] but it was not efficient as planned and discontinued after the second ship.

Between these funnels, a hangar for the ROV and a preparation room for diving operations were set up.

[6] With these capabilities to support divers, all ships of this class are officially certified as Patrol Vessel with Enhanced Rescue Capability (救難強化巡視船, Kyūnan-kyōka-junshisen).
