Fassmer's Rene Quezada told Xavier at IMDEX Asia 2025 that "OPV90 Mk II" (aka. RSN Sentinel-class OPV) have a container in front (behind STRALES 76mm gun), 4 containers near flight deck and additional 4 to 6 containers inside.

Perhaps a total of 11 20ft mission containers?

RSN Sentinel-class OPV's youtube video shows 2 10ft containers mounted behind its STRALES 76mm gun.

‘Below the threshold of war’ is where Singapore’s new Offshore Patrol Vessels operate.

These OPVs sit within the RSN rather than the Police Coast Guard (PCG), whose mandate is confined to Singapore’s territorial waters. The RSN can operate beyond that – which allows for flexibility to address threats farther afield or for maritime security cooperation activities with regional partners.

Possible deployment: Singapore vs Malaysia Johor Baru Port Limits dispute in Dec 2018.
