After serving the Greenland Police for 36 years, the 'Sisak' has been sold at auction by B2B Auctions. The police cutter brought in 3.1 million Danish Crowns, 100,000 more than the expected sale price. The vessel remained berthed at the quay in Nuuk, but it can only remain there until May 1, 2025. Before the new owner sails away, all external signs that it was a police cutter must be painted over, and all police equipment on board must be removed or reprogrammed. The money from the sale will be included in the pool available to the Greenland Police for the acquisition of new and more modern vessels. The defense has previously sold phased-out naval cutters in Greenland.

CG MUSTANG
Sold/Decommissioned
The US Coast Guard has decommissioned the 'Mustang (WPB 1310)' during a ceremony in Seward on April 15, 2025. Capt. Christopher Culpepper, the commander of Coast Guard Sector Western Alaska & U.S. Arctic, presided over the ceremony honoring the nearly 40 years of service of the 'Mustang' and its crews. Commissioned on Aug 29, 1986, the 'Mustang' was the 10th Island-Class cutter to join the fleet. She has been stationed in Seward since it was commissioned, and its crews have since responded to over 200 SAR cases and completed over 2000 law enforcement sorties. The Coast Guard is replacing the aging Island-Class patrol boats with Sentinel-Class Fast Response Cutters (FRCs) which feature enhanced capability to meet service needs. There are currently four FRC's homeported in Alaska, with two more scheduled for delivery in the near future.
