Khulna Shipyard is building a forward shipyard at Mongla. It owns a 43-acre piece of land in Mongla, which was purchased in 2011.

It also owns a 162-acre piece of land in Barguna that will be used to expand the shipyard so in effect Khulna Shipyard will be the largest combined shipyard in Bangladesh having three sites.

দুনিয়ার সব বড় ইয়ার্ড এবং শিপইয়ার্ড কনসালটেন্টের সাথে কথা চলছে। টেন্ডার আহ্বান করা হয়েছে সেটা অনেকদিন হয়ে গেল।

When is the frigate constructions going to start? I thought they said beginning/ end of this year?
All I came to know is two frigate construction might start in China because the shipyards aren’t ready yet...

Two frigates will come directly from China and to compensate the delay .

I believe (from what I have seen being discussed in various forums) that start of frigate construction will be slightly delayed as the yards need to have the right equipment. This, for Bangladesh, involves quite a lot of 'firsts'. I believe they might involve multiple private/public yards to have hull and superstructure modules built in parallel fashion (like they do in Korea and China) and join the modules together at one go.

Countries far bigger than us and having 50 years more experience in naval builds take up more than three years to build frigates like this sometime - even with building copied (err sorry - 'modified') designs. So I don't see a slight few months of delay as anything to worry about.

By the way I believe Fincantieri will probably not get involved in Bangladesh indigenous frigate project as they are involved in Project 17A next door. It is a conflict of interest with our Navy's rules.

time of construction depends, on a large extent, on available budget.... the same ship can be constructed at half the time, but that would require twice the budget in half the revenue earning time.... so, without increasing defence spending significantly, a ship construction cannot be completed within a shorter time period....

this is the reason why US Navy is able to get ships built at multiple yards simultaneously; thus reducing the 'apparent time' of building a single ship.... on the other hand, Russian Navy has even taken 10 years to complete a frigate....

..so??that number can be changed after refitting..

..so??that number can be changed after refitting..

Where is your credible source about that ship being retrofitted for Bangladesh Navy?

Btw there is general consensus for Any Naval vessels must struck down from their respective Navy before transfer to other Navies, this include to erase their hull registration number. And then they can be refurbished before transfered

Clear examples, Nahkoda Ragam class in Barrow shipyard, before transfer arrangement to Indonesia Navy

The same can be said to many transfer case of Bd Navy before from China

This type 54 Frigate is still in active services within PLAN, they are not that old, laid down in 1997, commisioned in 1999.

The warship in the picture is not Type 054.
