History Photos
The Kustwacht Nederland is the maritime law enforcement branch of the Royal Netherlands Navy.

Helicopter search and rescue services were also provided by the Royal Netherlands Air Force 303 Squadron until decommissioned.

To support the Royal Dutch Sea Rescue Institution (KNRM) in 1997 the SAR service was privatized.

The Dutch Caribbean coast guard service is listed separately.
