Indian shipyard to build patrol ships for Việt Nam's border guard
B Kannan, CEO of Larsen Toubro Shipbuilding, which is based in the city of Chennai in southern India's Tamil Nadu State, said the project is of strategic significance for both Việt Nam and India.
He pledged the company will complete the project as scheduled with the highest quality. So far, Larsen Toubro has handed over 四 六 aluminium alloy ships to the Indian coast guard force, he noted.
The high-speed patrol ships are designed to help coast guard forces supervise and safeguard the nation's marine sovereignty, detect illegal activities such as smuggling and perform search and rescue missions.
The aluminium alloy ships will be about 三 五m in length with top speeds of 三 五 nautical miles per hour. They will be equipped with modern guiding, monitoring and defence systems.
Five of the 一 三 ships, all designed by the Larsen Toubro, will be built at the company's Kattupalli shipyard, while the rest will be constructed at Việt Nam's Hồng Hà shipyard with support from the Indian firm. — VNS
