Bangladesh Navy

Don’t be fooled into thinking they can’t be refitted... even the coastguard frigates had been downgraded for some reason

I think there could be some commonality of design and systems with the 6 next-gen frigates to be built this decade.

The tender for 6 2000 tonne OPV was a very nice surprise.

Couple of glamour shots of inshore patrol and utility boats for the Navy and Coast Guard using the PT Lundin design. Teignbridge International UK provided the complete high quality propellers and sterngear packages for all 18 patrol boats. 3rd image shows the similar X15 design with a different Furuno radar and pintle-mounts for M2/DShKM/Type 54 in use in Bangladesh (planned to be fitted later).

Out of the 18 boats, 10 were built in DEW in Narayanganj. I believe this variant was called X12. Here is an older PDF thread on it from 2014. The images in the DEW site show the Coast Guard and Navy paint scheme.

Can a civilian version be bought from local companies? How much do they cost in bd?

I wouldn't know bhai. The govt. paid $333,000 plus for each in quantities of 18 units, so not cheap. But these are defense purchases built in DEW. You could have some built locally a lot cheaper. Contact Taratari Shipyard. They're reputable from French designer and local factory (prop. is Yves Marre, he is a famous French Shipwright).

Wow. I’m surprised. So I reckon 1million plus for one, that means it’s not cheap compared to Italian boats. Oh crap

A lot of the equipment is not needed for civilian boats, so probably cheaper. If built locally around 100,000 or even less. Not 1 Million.

In the West Coast, this size boat with inboard drive will cost around $120,000 new. used around $50,000 or so. Million dollars is a lot of money.

Closer to Bangladesh, they make these in Singapore and Indonesia, you can import from there too.

Rivas are like the Ferraris of boats, smooth and gorgeous. Italians make great luxury items. . This is a Riva 110 footer.

There are some nice manufacturers of these boats stateside too. Know a few in LA...

Yeah even a used broken riva cost atleast 30k dinar. Yikes
That’s why was looking at Bangladeshi manufactures xD

 

[Destranator]

Yep... there’s basically glorified frigates, since ships of same tonnage and capability currently in fleet are termed as frigates

Tonnage alone does not determine ship classification.
Cruise ships could otherwise be classified as destroyers.

Yes ofc, but the designs are being lightly armed with provisions for future refit/ armaments

BN has a good chance of acquiring Chinese Type-53s light frigates as China might ask only the price of upgrades. And these can bolster BN presence in the sea.

Bd already bought 4 type 053 h3, 2x h2 in fleet and h1 may be replaced with type 054

Lundin shipyard,Indonesia have a very innovative approach of ship design.
