The Seychelles Coast Guard is a branch of the Seychelles People's Defence Force
created in 1993. It is a maritime, military, multi-mission service. They
acquired responsibility for search and rescue for vessel incidents as well as
environmental protection from the Seychelles Port Authority. Although Seychelles
is a small country, it is located off the Horn of Africa, strategically close to
the operation of notorious pirates. Sri Lanka, China, United Arab Emirates and
India have made strategic donations of patrol vessels to the Seychelles.
The Coast Guard Ensign is blue with the national flag in the canton and
with Coast Guard emblem placed in the lower fly. This flag is possibly very new,
because I haven t seen it in any pictures of ships. These pictures were taken in
November 2023:
