The Finnish government on Thursday cleared the sale of FNS Kotka and FNS Oulu to state-controlled arms group Patria and granted an export licence on the Helsinki-class missile boats.
The Finnish Navy, which took delivery of the boats in the mid-1980s, decommissioned the vessels last year and has been trying to sell them since.
Patria said the Croatian Navy had shown interest, adding the boats along with spare parts and services were on the market for eight million euros a piece, double what it would pay the Finnish Navy.
