China hands over patrol ship to PN
THE NEWSPAPER'S STAFF REPORTER — UPDATED AUG 02, 2016 10:17AM
KARACHI: A ceremony to hand over the second maritime patrol ship to the Pakistan Maritime Security Agency (PMSA) was held in the Liuzhou city of China’s Guangxi region, said a press release of the PMSA on Monday.
Basol is the second ship of its class that has been launched and is three months ahead of its scheduled delivery time.
The ceremony was attended by Vice Chief of the Naval Staff Vice Admiral Khan Hasham Bin Saddique as the chief guest.
“Acquisition of these ships by PMSA will augment its capabilities manifold to enable it to protect Pakistan’s maritime zones and ports/harbours along the coast and secure our sea against all crimes including terrorism,” says the press release.
In his address, the vice chief of the naval staff praised the Chinese and Pakistani organisations involved in the project for early completion of an important milestone and emphasised on continuing cooperation between the two countries at all levels including the maritime building sector. “The maritime sector projects being jointly undertaken by both friendly nations has become yet another source of strength to enhance security cooperation between the two countries, which will auger well for the entire maritime region,” he said.
He added that the PMSA capability enhancement was essential to secure the area of Gwadar due to enhanced responsibilities vis-a-vis the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
“Both Pakistan Navy and the PMSA have already established comprehensive mechanism to ensure security of Gwadar port and the surrounding sea areas,” he said.
PMSA director general Rear Admiral Jamil Akhtar also attended the ceremony.
The ministry of defence production had signed a contract with M/s CSTC of China for the construction of 4x600 tonnes and 2x1500 tonnes maritime patrol ships in 2015. As per the contract, four ships are being constructed in China while the remaining two ships, one of each type, are being constructed at Karachi shipyard and engineering works.

China will next bolster Pakistan Navy: Expert
Updated: July 29, 2016 23:22 IST | Suhasini Haidar
China’s military cooperation with Pakistan will involve bolstering the Pakistani navy next, an expert on China-Pakistan relations said on Friday, pointing to Pakistan’s planned acquisition of eight submarines from China as one of the “biggest and most significant” markers of their relationship.
“China will continue to bolster Pakistan’s military, and the navy is clearly the next phase of this,” Andrew Small, author of the “China-Pakistan axis: Asia’s new geopolitics” told The Hindu, adding the move would be driven by China’s increasing commitment to the economic corridor running from Xinjiang to Pakistan’s Gwadar port.
In October 2015, Pakistan had announced its decision to acquire eight Type 41 Yuan-class diesel-electric submarines, half of which may be built in Pakistan while the other half would be made in China and transferred.
According to Mr. Small, who visited Delhi recently, China’s $40 billion investment in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor will make a larger naval presence in the Gwadar port a necessity. However, he added there were “benefits for India” if the CPEC resulted in an “economically stable Pakistan”. “One mustn’t discount the benefits to the region too, if China is able to restrain Pakistan’s activities in Afghanistan.” Mr. Small pointed to Pakistan’s statement of support to China over the South China Sea verdict as another significant marker of the relationship, but added that concerns in India about China’s forays in the Indian Ocean were “premature.”
In stronger position
“Asia Pacific peace weighs more heavily for the Chinese leadership, intrinsically, at the moment. You have the pattern of submarines in Sri Lanka, Maldives, and in Pakistan and I think they expect to be able to expand their presence in the Indian Ocean, but they are substantially weaker there. The Indians and the Americans are in a substantially stronger position there,” Mr. Small said.
Ties between India and China have been under a strain for several reasons, including the economic corridor that India has objected to as it traverses through Azad Kashmir. On China’s opposition to India’s Nuclear Suppliers Group membership, Mr. Small believes Beijing will continue to stick to its stand that India’s membership was contingent on a “process”. However, he added that if a process would allow India to become a member later this year and would open a door for Pakistan, it would be a “harder call” for China to hold out.

we should purchase or build hundred of these n equip them with c-701 missile having range up to 30km .Very Cheap n most effective.
These are no good protecting your SLOCs. They are very short legged (i.e. very coastal) and have limited ability to deal with rough seas. They have zero self defence capability. They have no ASW capability.

Pakistan Navy takes command of CTF-150 taskforce
The Royal Navy handed over command of the multinational Combined Task Force 150 (CTF-150) to Pakistan Navy at an impressive formal Change of Command Ceremony held at the headquarters US NAVCENT in Bahrain.
Commodore Bilal Abdul Nasir took over the Command of CTF-150 from Commodore Guy Robinson of the Royal Navy.
It is the ninth time that Pakistan Navy has been entrusted with command of Combined Task Force 150, a Pakistan Navy press release said on Friday.
Vice Admiral Kevin M Donegan, Commander US Naval Force Central Command, and Commander Combined Maritime Forces presided over the ceremony and presented the resume of CTF 150's recent successes.
Senior officers from foreign navies forming the coalition were also present on the occasion.
Addressing the audience, Cdr Bilal Abdul Nasir assured that his team was fully prepared to shoulder this prestigious responsibility.
The commander also lauded the outgoing Royal Navy team and their dedicated efforts to achieve objectives of CTF-150 during their tenure of Command and re-affirmed his resolve to continue operations with the same zeal and zest.
He further highlighted that relations between Pakistan Navy and coalition Navies continue to strengthen due to focused commitment in support of collaborative maritime security to bring peace and stability to this region.
Combined Task Force 150 is one of the three Task Forces within the ambit of Combined Maritime Forces (CMF).
It is a Multinational Coalition for Counter Terrorism operations at sea in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) with the mission to promote Maritime Security at sea.
Prior to present command tenure, Pakistan Navy had the exclusive distinction of commanding CTF-150 for eight times which is a manifestation of the trust and respect enjoyed by Pakistan Navy among coalition partners.
Over the years, Pakistan Navy has not only served the maritime interests of Pakistan but has also very effectively fulfilled its international obligations.
