During the Dimdex 2012 maritime defence exhibition in Qatar, it was announced that the Turkish shipyard Yonca Onuk has signed a contract with Qatar Armed Forces. According to the contract Turkish shipyard is building 3 MRTP 16 class interceptors and 3 MRTP 34 class fast patrol boats for the Qatar Naval Forces. This is the second contract Yonca Onuk has signed in the Gulf Region. Their first customer was the United Arab Emirates for 34 boats.
These are probably the first photos of the MRTP 16 class taken. The craft is not armed but there is a platform just at the aft end of the cabin where a remotely controlled stabilized gun mount can be installed.

Cabatli do you know if the coast guard offers trips on some of their older vessels, short trips of around 45-90 min ?

They were/are busy with Syrian PM Assad like PM's to show around Bosphorus with MRTP series boats, Until Our PM turn his back with an inspiration coming from USA. I don't suppose that Civilians have a chance to make a trip in Bosphorus with those Turkish engineering of art speed machines because Our politicians use them for yikama-yaglama, Until boss of our PM holding a baseball stick says "Don't do it".

Yes because developing ties with our neighbors was the worst possible policy they could make.

let's not turn this into a political discussion.

I was asking for trips on older vessels, not new ones. I was thinking that promoting coast guard, navy etc. could be done through small trips on old vessels that're soon to be retired etc.
