[2] As of 2020[update] it was the latest Pacific craft within the BAE Halmatic range, and has been proven in service with the UK MOD, UK police and overseas military and paramilitary organisations.

[3] About 60 Pacific 24s are in service with the Royal Navy and Royal Fleet Auxiliary, including an uncrewed version of the boat which is controlled from a parent Navy ship or another location.

They have a "dry running" capability, allowing their engines to be started out of the water, while still attached to a ship's davits.
