Brazilian Navy's Ships Project Centre (CPN) has been contracted to design a 500-tonne class patrol ship through an award placed in April.
The NPa 500-BR, shown here in a rendering, is to be available for the Brazilian Navy and for export. (EMGEPRON)
Brazil's state-owned naval project management company (Empresa Gerencial de Projetos Navais: EMGEPRON), issued the contract for a vessel designated NPa 500-BR (Navio Patrulha 500 toneladas Brasil) that is to be developed over an 11-month timeframe.
The current plan is to build 20 ships, EMGEPRON told IHS Jane's . However, a potential contract is dependent on the navy's budget and ability to place the work with local shipbuilders. The design will also be available for export.
The basic configuration shows the ship based on the Macaé-class design - a Brazilian variant of the French Constructions Mécaniques de Normandie's (CMN's) Vigilante 400 CL54 - of which two units were built by Indústria Naval do Ceará (INACE) for the Brazilian Navy and another five are being built by Estaleiro Ilha (EISA) with first delivery now scheduled for December 2015.
