Bangladesh Coast Guard inaugurates boat repair workshop in coast guard east zone situated in Chittagong funded by USA. American ambassador Mercia Bernicat was present during inauguration ceremony in the morning. BCG included 20 metal shark boats in 2013. Its for BCG but BN Defenders and Defiant class boats will also be maintained there.

Another news is BD has started working on producing their own anti-ship missile like C-704 with Chinese help. This anti-ship missile related news was discussed before as some said BD already produce C-704 and some even claimed we produce C-802 under ToT but hard evidence wasn't shown. Hoax or not it seems like we gotta wait few years to see if this news is come true along with Fl-3000n missile and SRBM.

There are pics somewhere here of BD engineers assembling missiles sometime ago.

We have probably began assembling a while ago and now moving into production. Anyhow that is my hope.

BD absolutely needs to develop a missile force given the weakness of BAF which lets be honest is unlikely to be resolved anytime soon. Missiles are the way to go to develop defensive and offensive options in the neighbourhood.

@The Ronin bhai thanks for posting this. :-)

usher in a new era of shipbuilding using advanced materials in Bangladesh
This means that they will probably be turning out Fibreglass (GFRP and CFRP) boats with far better materials and design than is used in most of Asia - since the chemicals supplied and design support is going to come from the US directly (probably some from Metal shark itself). Welding aluminium cannot be that tough, just have to follow MIL-SPEC standards on welds and testing that's all.

Other than Metal Shark, I like another Coast Guard design, the Defender-class '45 foot Response Boat - Medium', for intensive harbor patrol duties. Very advanced - the darn things cannot be capsized in rough seas, they have a 'self-righting' design.

If we end up making these things locally (under license or otherwise) then we can export them to other Coast Guards worldwide as well.


By the way - we have received the Hamilton cutters from USCG, but I believe our Coast Guard should petition the US Coast Guard for the 'Island class', which are 110-foot patrol boats (cutters) about a couple of grades above these metal shark boats which are for harbor patrol use only. The US transferred about five of these Island class boats to Pakistan recently under the EDA or 'Excess Defense Article' program (three to the PN and two to the Pakistan Maritime Security Agency). More are to be decommissioned in due course. These are excellently sized for patrolling inshore areas in our Bay of Bengal coastline, a bit bigger than our CGS Shetgang class but smaller than the newer Padma class (or even the CGS Shobuj Bangla Class).

I can't remember correctly but hasn't KSY started building 2/5 patrol ships for BCG after Durgom class?

I think we can make our own patrol boats now even without foreign technical help. I am confident that much self sufficiency we have achieved. btw this is CGS Kutubdia (FPB)

- 2 FPBs are to be handed over by DEW Ltd. to Bangladesh Coast Guard on 30/09/2017. I think this match the size you mentioned smaller than Padma class.

Next thing we should give BCG i think is some ships based on Durjoy class and Shadhinota class.

The marine grade steel used on the local production is thicker, the Navy also incorporated Japanese sensors and electronics in this ASW sub-variant. Weapons however were imported from China including the FCR.

"Khulna Shipyard is going to be huge.

Site 1 - Khulna: 68.97 acres [Developed]
Site 2 - Mongla: 43 acres [Held, but not developed]
Site 3 - Barguna: 162 acres [Under acquisition]

Total: 273.97 acres of lands for shipyard.

Though the Bangladesh Navy owns three shipyards officially the Mongla and Barguna yards will make it rise to five shipyards. They will be capable of building all types of warships including submarines, frigates, corvettes and large ocean going vessels for the Navy."
