Pakistan nearing assembly stage of S20 submarine

Staff Reporter 2015-06-08

A Type 039A Yuan-class submarine.

Pakistan is preparing for the assembly of the S20, the export version of China's Type 039A Yuan-class diesel-electric submarine equipped with air-independent propulsion, according to a Karachi Shipyard & Engineering Works official cited in the Canada-based Kanwa Defense Review.

This is the first time for a Pakistani official to reveal the nation's intention to purchase the Chinese submarine, according to the report. Pakistan completed its technical negotiations with China about importing six S20 submarines, though an agreed means of payment has delayed the signing of the deal.

Pakistan requires technology transfer from China, said the report. However, it wants all of its vessels to be equipped with its own fire-control and weapon systems.

Pakistan will buy eight Chinese subs , although the precise model and cost remains unconfirmed. IHS Janes has speculated that it may be the Type 041 Yuan-class attack variant. Talks between Beijing and Islamabad date back to 2011, following the disintegration of a potential deal with Germany. China is Pakistan’s largest supplier of arms, according to SIPRI , with this current deal slated to be one of the largest transfers yet between the two countries.

The navy's share of the budget is roughly USD 1B. It has to manage itself in this. This does not include capital purchases.

China to build patrol vessels for Pakistan Maritime agency

Agreement coincides with the visit of the Chinese Vice-Minister of State Security Dong Haizhou

Islamabad: China will construct six patrol vessels for Pakistan’s Maritime Security Agency under an agreement signed here on Wednesday.

Four vessels will be built in China and the remaining two in Karachi under a technology transfer agreement signed at the Defence Production Ministry in Rawalpindi.

The documents were signed by M/s China Ship Trading Company and the Pakistani government.

The ministry’s spokesperson said the acquisition of new ships would boost the maritime agency’s operational preparedness to protect resources in Pakistan’s Exclusive Economic Zone.

Last year, the executive committee of the National Economic Council had approved 13.87 billion Pakistan rupees (Dh500 million) for the procurement of six maritime patrol vessels.

The latest agreement coincided with the visit of the Chinese Vice-Minister of State Security Dong Haizhou, to Pakistan.

The Chinese vice-minister met on Wednesday with Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif.

Matters related to security of the $46 billion (Dh168 billion) China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project were also discussed during the meeting, according to a military statement.

Dong Haizhou said China attaches great importance to its relations with Pakistan, and early completion of the project would not only benefit Pakistan and China but the entire region.

The 3,000km corridor running from the southern Gwadar port on the Arabian Sea to China’s western Xinjiang region was launched in April during Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Islamabad.

This is baffling. It could mean 2 things.
1. We are buying both Chinese and American cutters which could be overkill.
2. Buying the cheaper Chinese ships and save the $$$.

Sir the report is pretty sketchy. We dont know what these boats will look like. As I have mentioned earlier, we can reduce price by having a hull of 056 and developing it for MSA role with a view to making it dual use. Is that a possibility. Where is @Rashid Mahmood or @Rafi and why have they not commented on this subject.I dont think we are talking about things which are secrets.

I will try and get some more information regarding this, but off my head - the American vessels will be provided through the FMS annual military aid - and will not be paid by the Pakistani tax power, if I remember correctly.

The new vessels will be designed to protect our new EEZ extension - we have many new resources and fishing to guard - and vessels with the ability to remain at sea for extended periods, with some multi-role capability is a must.
