Chilean shipbuilder ASMAR (Astilleros y Maestranzas de la Armada) is to launch the fourth Patrullero de Zona Maritime (PZM) offshore patrol vessel for the Chilean Navy on 3 August, a navy spokesperson told IHS Jane's on 1 August.

Cabo Odger (OPV 84), ordered by the navy on 12 January 2015, is being built at ASMAR's shipyard in Talcahuano.

The PZM is a local modification of German shipbuilder Fassmer's OPV-80 design.

After the ship is launched, outfitting work will soon began followed by testing and trials before delivery in August 2017. Cabo Odger is intendted to provide search-and-rescue, pollution control, training, patrol, and logistical support over the country's exclusive economic zone. The vessel's homeport is yet to be defined, the navy said.

Cabo Odger will join Piloto Pardo (OPV 81), Comandante Toro (OPV 82), andMarinero Fuentealba (OPV 83) that were commissioned June 2008, August 2009, and November 2014, respectively. The fleet was purchased as part of the service's Danubio IV programme implemented in 2004.

The initial two PZMs were purchased in May 2005, and the third in January 2012.

The last two units incorporate several differences over initial ships, as they were modified to sail Antarctic waters. They include a reinforced fore-hull, specially calibrated tanks and systems to operate in low temperatures, and an extended bridge. A single Leonardo Compact 76 mm artillery system was installed instead of a 40 mm mounting on the first two OPVs. There are also several protected mounts for 12.7 mm heavy machine guns.
