Swedish Maritime Administration means Swedish Coast Guard (Kustbevkningen).

A new investigation propose the Administration (Kustbevakningen) should transfer to the Royal Swedish Navy
with the new helicopters.

Sweden have newly bought new helicopters, due to the late NH 90 deliveries.

Consequens of these deliveries could be that the ca 10 HKP-10 could be scrapped.
Its a pitty because they have lot of more hours to use.
