About THE SWEDISH COAST GUARD The Swedish Coast Guard works to secure life, the environment and safety at sea, twenty-four hours a day, all year round, along the entire coast of Sweden.
At the same time as we keep prepared to intervene to protect life and the environment, we work with surveillance, supervi- sion, maintaining order and law enforcement at sea.
2 3 The Coast Guard is respon- sible for responding to oil spills and leakages at sea. Damage from spillage of oil and other hazardous substances is to be minimised and nature is to be protected as far as possible.
We must be able to contain oil spills of Svensk kustbevakning ska utvecklas till en maritim up to 10,000 tonnes.

Kustbevakningen ska bli den naturliga samverkans- parten till sjöss som skapar trygghet.
4 5 The Coast Guard monitor the Gulf of Bothnia, the Baltic Sea, Skagerrak, Kattegat and Öresund, as well as lakes Mälaren, Vänern and Vättern using planes, ships and smaller boats.
Through constant preparedness for search and rescue at sea, we are working to increase people’s security at sea.
6 7 The Coast Guard has three DASH-8 Q-300 planes, which are important tools in maritime surveillance. The planes are vital for the early detection of spills and for the effective coordination of oil recovery operations.
The flight operations generally carry out daily surveillance flights in order to detect spills early and thus be able to contain the spillage quickly before it reaches land.
8 9 The Coast Guard is constantly working to ensure increa- sed safety at sea. Our operations aim to protect people from accidents and prevent or limit damage to property and the environment. The ability to act quickly and effectively is crucial for us.
In addition to maintaining prepared- ness for rescue operations and en- vironmental conservation, the Coast Guard officers have the task of su- pervising fishing, customs, borders, maritime traffic, hunting, nature con- servation and environmental crime. Within certain areas, we also have the legal authority to investigate crime.
