The first two Island-type patrol vessels delivers Salamis Shipyards

The work is proceeding smoothly and on schedule, within budget, and the ships are expected to be delivered to the Hellenic Navy by December 2024.

Salamis Shipyards on Monday announced the successful completion, on October 10 and 11, of the work for the reactivation of the first two Island-type patrol vessels, as well as all the tests, with the two vessels now docked at the Salamis Naval Station.

The work is proceeding smoothly and on schedule, within budget, and the ships are expected to be delivered to the Hellenic Navy by December 2024.

It is an important and demanding project that requires a combination of knowledge, as it includes repairs, reactivation and upgrades. The Salamis Shipyards have been pioneers in similar projects in the past and, therefore, their choice for the implementation of the programme by the United States Coast Guard did not come as a surprise.

Salamis Shipyards belongs to a "specialised" and rare category of shipyards, highly specialised in complex and high-added-value projects, which require high levels of technical knowhow and quality. This, together with a track record of successful delivery of similar projects, within schedule, on budget and with high quality standards, sets them apart significantly from other yards.

At the same time, the cooperation with the Naval Group continues with absolute success, within the foreseen schedules and budget for the construction of pre-equipped blocks of the Greek and French frigates of the FDI program (Belharra).

This collaboration with the Naval Group provides for the shipyards' participation in the construction of five sections (blocks) of the hull and the superstructure, for a total of up to 6 FDI frigates. In February, the Salamis Shipyards delivered the five pre-equipped sections (blocks) of the third Greek FDI HN Formion, while correspondingly in July the blocks for the second French frigate of the programme were delivered. In addition, Salamis shipyards have extended their cooperation with Naval Group for the construction project of the third French frigate that follows.
