BVT Fast Attack Craft are in service with Navies around the world. Examples include the highly acclaimed Ramadan Class built for the Egyptian Navy followed by a series of larger Province Class craft for the Royal Navy of Oman and the Shark Class for the Kenyan Navy. These designs evolved and developed to become the Vita Class FAC in service with Qatar Emiri Navy - arguably the most heavily armed vessels of this type in the world today.
The latest, the Supervita Class FAC, is in production for the Hellenic Navy at Elefsis Shipyard in Greece, under a transfer of technology contract.
