No vessels are operated by HMRC.

Responsibility for customs and revenue work at the border was transferred from HMRC to the UK Border Agency (UKBA) – now Border Force – in 2009. From that time, Border Force has been responsible for the prevention of smuggling, frontier controls on the movement of goods, and clearing goods and people across the UK border, collecting taxes and duties where appropriate.
