The Royal Navy will scramble to deploy a naval ship off Guyana later this month, the ministry of defence said today, as the South American nation faces a border dispute with neighbour Venezuela over the oil-rich Essequibo region.

HMS Trent - a vessel used for 'defence diplomacy', according to the government - will take part in joint exercises with Guyana after Christmas.

The deployment follows a visit by Foreign Office minister David Rutley to Guyana earlier this month, intended to offer the UK's support for the country, an ally and former British colony.

He reiterated sovereign borders 'must be respected' and that the UK would work internationally 'to ensure the territorial integrity of Guyana is upheld'.

A Ministry of Defence spokesperson said: 'HMS Trent will visit regional ally and Commonwealth partner Guyana later this month as part of a series of engagements in the region during her Atlantic patrol task deployment.'

Guyana and Venezuela agreed earlier this month to avoid any use of force and not to escalate tensions in the long-running dispute.

The offshore patrol vessel is in Barbados over Christmas and will then head to waters off the mainland of Guyana, according to reports.

The ship is not expected to dock in Georgetown, its capital, because the port is too shallow, the BBC said.

The broadcaster said it was intended as 'a show of diplomatic and military support for the former British colony'.

The 160,000-square-km (62,000-square-mile) Essequibo region is generally recognised as part of Guyana, but in recent years Venezuela has revived its claim to the territory and to offshore areas after major oil and gas discoveries.

The dispute dates back to the late 19th century, when Guyana was still a British colony.
