[3] In December 2021, the Spanish Navy announced that 12.7 mm "Guardian 30" naval weapons station would be installed aboard Serviola and several other patrol boats and frigates by the domestic company Escribano.
[6] In May, Serviola was dispatched by Spanish authorities alongside a frigate from Equatorial Guinea to conduct an anti-piracy operation aboard the hijacked heavy-lift ship Blue Marlin.
[9][10] Serviola was involved in a minor incident between Spain and the United Kingdom in July 2020, when she passed through the territorial waters of Gibraltar for about 45 minutes, before being escorted out by the Royal Navy vessel HMS Pursuer.
Her intrusion into their territorial waters drew criticism from several UK maritime officials, who speculated that it was in response to newly imposed quarantine measures due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
[12] Serviola was one of several craft that took part in the rescue of survivors from the Russian heavy-lift ship Ursa Major, which sank in the Mediterranean between Águilas in Spain and Oran in Algeria on the night of 23–24 December 2024.
