The Pabna-class patrol craft were built at Dockyard and Engineering Works Limited.

Later on, in 1995, after the emergence of Bangladesh Coast Guard, the ships were transferred to them.

They have a displacement of 75 tons and a complement of 33 personnel.

The ships carry one Bofors 40 mm gun of 60 calibers as armament.

The crafts can be used for both coastal and riverine patrol.
