Construction on the vessel had already begun when the global pandemic struck and the rapid spread of the virus meant that upon completion of the vessel, pandemic travel restrictions made it unfeasible to arrange a crew to deliver her on own keel since the crew would not be permitted to return to their home countries once they arrived in Jamaica.

The four-vessel contract between Damen and the JDF saw the delivery of an FCS 5009 Patrol in 2020. Another SPa 4207 and a second FCS 5009 Patrol will be delivered in the years to come.

The Stan Patrol 4207 has a length of 42.8 m (140.4 ft) and a beam of 7.1 m (23.3 ft), she can reach a top speed of 26 knots (48 km/h).
