Shelf life in original containers is 25 years, after activation the manufacturer guarantees functionality for one year as standard (this period can be extended to 2 years upon customer request).

For the storage, transport and laying of mines, Forcit Defence, in cooperation with DA-Group, has developed the SUMICO container, which is dimensionally identical to the standard 20-foot ISO container. The container has a capacity of 12 mines and can be installed on any vessel whose dimensions and weight allow for such a large container.

As part of Estonia's approved defence budget for 2021, funds have been allocated to strengthen coastal defence in 2021-2026, including the acquisition of new coastal defence missile systems and naval mines. At the beginning of 2021, the Estonian Ministry of Defence's State Defence Investment Centre signed a contract for the purchase of naval mines with the Finnish company Forcit Defence. The scope of the contract was not disclosed, but the first PM16 mines arrived in Estonia in December 2021.
