# Skagerrak Coastal Rescue Service takes delivery of first Kestrel ground stations, sources say

**Original source:** Nordic Public Safety Wire, 2026-05-14, www.nordicpublicsafetywire.invalid/2026/05/skagerrak-kestrel-delivery-sources-say

14 May 2026. Skagerrak Coastal Rescue Service has taken delivery of the first Kestrel ground stations under its order with Skarv Aerospace AS, according to sources familiar with the matter who spoke to Nordic Public Safety Wire.

Sources described the delivery as the start of fulfilment of Skagerrak Coastal Rescue's January order for six Kestrel Ground Control Station units, though the exact number of units delivered so far could not be confirmed. Neither Skarv Aerospace nor Skagerrak Coastal Rescue Service has issued an official statement on the delivery.

One source suggested that further units would follow over the coming months but cautioned that the delivery schedule had not been independently verified. A Skarv Aerospace spokesperson said the company "does not comment on delivery status ahead of an operator's own announcement."

Nordic Public Safety Wire understands that Skagerrak Coastal Rescue Service may issue its own statement on the delivery in the near future, and will update this article if an official confirmation follows.

This article relies on unattributed sourcing and should be read alongside any subsequent official announcement from Skagerrak Coastal Rescue Service.
