The new boats would improve the Tunisian Navy maritime capabilities in protecting its territorial domain.

The Tunisian Navy is preparing to participate in Exercise Phoenix Express 17  – a naval exercise attended by over a dozen Mediterranean navies that will take place in the western Mediterranean. This exercise will focus on conducting regional maritime interdictions and law enforcement operations in accordance with international maritime law, Maritime Domain Awareness, and informational sharing capabilities.

The Tunisian Navy is currently battling to cope with large amount of migrants across the Mediterranean sea.

Next year, the United States of America would supply border security system for the Tunisian eastern border and also equipment and training to deal with Improvised explosive devices (IED).
