The '''Watercat M14 landing craft''' is a [[Engineering:Jurmo-class landing craft|Jurmo-class]] type of military transport in use by the Royal Malaysia Police. The manufacturer is Marine Alutech Oy Ab, {{wipe|Finland}}. It is related to the [[Engineering:Jurmo-class landing craft|Watercat M12]] of the Finnish Navy.

==History==
The Jurmo was the result of modernisation in the Finnish Navy in the late 1990s. It was designed to replace the existing Uisko class landing craft. Its main purpose is landing and transportation operations for the Finnish Coastal Jaegers in all weather conditions. It has good maneuverability and can come to a full stop in only one ship length from top speed. Low draft makes it suitable for amphibious assault even in shallow waters.

The Watercat M14 can transport 5 tons of cargo or 16 men.

== Operators ==
