RSIPV Auki is one of the Pacific Forum patrol boats Australia gave to the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force.

[1][2] Following the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea extending maritime nations' exclusive economic zones to 200 kilometres (110 nmi), Australia agreed to design, build, and give twelve of its fellow members of the Pacific Forum patrol vessels, so they could police and extend sovereignty to their exclusive economic zones using their own resources.

Auki helped provide aid to Vanuatu in 2015, after it was struck by the tropical Cyclone Pam in March that year.

[8] Following detection of a tourist infected with the Covid-19 virus, in Vanuatu, Auki moored offshore of their opposite number's base, and prepared to begin a 14 day quarantine period, prior to returning to the Solomon Islands.

[9] Australia is scheduled to replace Auki with the RSIPV Taro, a new, larger and more capable Guardian-class patrol boat in May 2021.
