RFNS Kiro (203)

RFNS Kiro (203) was one of three Pacific Forum patrol boats operated by Fiji.

Shortly after the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea extended a 200-kilometre (108 nmi) exclusive economic zone (EEZ) to all maritime nations, Australia agreed to design, build, and then donate small patrol vessels to its smaller fellow members of the Pacific Forum, so they could exercise sovereignty over their extended EEZs.

Australia has designed and will build a new, larger and more capable replacement class, the Guardian-class patrol boats, which will be delivered from 2018 to 2023.

Like her sister ships Kiro displaced 160 tonnes, and her top speed was 24 knots (44 km/h; 28 mph).

Kiro ran aground during bad weather, on July 19, 2016.
