The coastal patrol ship 'Omiš', has significantly improved the capabilities of Croatian Navy Forces with its technical equipment and navigational characteristics. It is particularly effective in adverse weather conditions, i.e. strong storms and high seas, which is why the coast guard with the patrol ship 'Omiš', which is equipped with an active stabilization system that enables the ship to be fully operational, is also called in for search and rescue operations in sea state 4 and compliance with NATO criteria for seaworthiness (STANAG 4154), which proved to be a key capability in strong storms.
