The equipment of the boat has been designed to be flexible, so was (1400 and TR 1100 TR) versions provided a larger ( TR 1700A ) and two smaller, but never went into construction.

The only orders for the type were received from Argentina, who ordered a total of six units. The first two were built in Emden, four should be manufactured under license in Argentina. Two of these four orders were formerly TR 1400, but were later changed to TR 1700. The equipment required for the production arrived in Argentina, but the units were never completed due to budget problems.
