Approximately 33,600 hours of sea time is made available to University Royal Navy Units annually.

The Royal Navy Reserves can request to use University Royal Navy Unit patrol craft for training purposes, which are made available where it is possible to do so without detriment to mandated University Royal Navy Unit roles.
