RFNS Kula (201) is a Pacific Forum patrol boat operated by Fiji. She was designed and built by Australia. Australia agreed to provide twenty-two patrol boats to twelve of its neighbours and fellow members of the Pacific Forum, after the recently concluded United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea extended maritime nations' exclusive economic zone to {{convert|200|km|nmi}}. Australia provided two other patrol vessels to Fiji, {{ship|RFNS|Kikau|202|2}} and {{ship|RFNS|Kiro|203|2}}. Australia also provided training and infrastructure.

Operational history

In 2004 armed crew-members boarded and captured a pirate fishing vessel.[2]

In June 2017 Kula rescued four New Zealand businessmen when their yacht was wrecked in Fiji waters.[3]

Although Australia designed the vessels using commercial off-the-shelf, so smaller countries, like Fiji, would find them easier to maintain, Fiji found the vessels hard to maintain, and there were periods that only Kula remained operational.[4][5]

Replacement

Australia started building 21 larger and more capable replacement vessels in 2017.[6] Fiji is scheduled to receive two new vessels. The replacement for Kula is scheduled to be delivered in March 2020.[7]
