Swedish Patrol Boat Association

The Swedish Patrol Boat Association (Föreningen Svenska Patrullbåtar) is a non-profit association with the aim to maintain HMS Jägaren in its original condition.

The association has a bare boat charter agreement with The National Maritime Museum where we aim to preserve HMS Jägaren as far as it is practically and economically possible. Furthermore we spread awareness of the ships’ historical role and unique technology.

To preserve it in its original condition as far as is practically and economically possible and also spreading knowledge and awareness of the ships’ historical role and unique technology in collaboration with maritime authorities and organizations. This work includes operating the vessel, training crews, handling maintenance, collecting and preserving documents, manuals and pictures about the vessel type, spread information and knowledge to the public, etc.
