The MHV900 class is a series of ships in service with the Danish Home Guard. It is a further development of the MHV800 class. These ships are about 3.5 metres (11 ft 6 in) longer and 10 tons heavier than the preceding class. The ships are primarily used for monitoring at sea, search and rescue, and environmental protection at sea.^[1] The increased size allows the ship class to carry two float locks of 180 m (590 ft), which gives the Danish pollution preparedness a noticeable lift upward. In addition, the class is equipped with several fire pumps and a water cannon, which can be used for firefighting.
