The additional delivery delays for the US Coast Guard (USCG) Offshore Patrol Cutters (OPCs) could disrupt some USCG operations – even with the USCG attempts to lengthen the service lives of its ageing Medium Endurance Cutters (MECs) – according to the US Government Accountability Office (GAO).
As noted in its report, Coast Guard Acquisitions Offshore Patrol Cutter Program Needs to Mature Technology and Design, released on 20 June the initial OPCs will be delivered later because of several construction issues.
The GAO said in the report, “The Coast Guard faces an operational gap as a result of delays in the OPC delivery schedule. Given the delays in the OPC programme, the Coast Guard projects to have a reduction in asset availability – or a reduction in the number of cutters available for operations – starting in 2024 and through 2039, which is the current projected date for when OPC 25 will be ready for operations.”
