Keel laying Ceremony of 48 Ton Bollard Pull Tug being built for Pakistan Navy held at Karachi Shipyard & Engineering Works (KS&EW). Deputy Chief of the Naval Staff (Projects) Rear Admiral Imran Ahmad HI(M), graced the occasion as Chief Guest.
The vessel has an overall length of 25 m with a displacement of 510 tons. It has a maximum speed of 12 knots and propelled by 2 x diesel engines with azimuth drive propulsion system with automated integrated machinery and tug handling system. This tug is equipped with 02 x Diesel Generators, a diesel driven Fire pump. Navigational radar, firefighting system, deck crane, Sewerage Treatment Plant and towing arrangements. The fendering arrangement is very robust and has been especially designed to suit PN requirement with all around tugging operations. The power to size ratio of this tug will be least among the tugs available in PN inventory, providing excellent maneuverability during tugging operations.
On the occasion, the Chief Guest expressed that it is a matter of pride to witness the Keel Laying of 48 T Bollard Pull Tug in Karachi Shipyard in collaboration with M/s TOR Group Turkey. He added that it is a historic occasion as Ministry of Defence Production, Pakistan Navy, Karachi Shipyard & M/s TOR Group of Turkey have joined hands for construction of this vessel. Chief Guest appreciated the performance of KS&EW and mentioned that indigenization is at the forefront of our policy and in this context it is a very convincing to see this state of the art tug to be built in country to-date. The ceremony was attended by representative of M/s TOR Group and other high ranking officials from GoP, PN and KS&EW.

Pakistan hires Leonardo, Paramount Group for aircraft conversion program
By: Usman Ansari 1 day ago

ISLAMABAD — Pakistan has hired an Italian defense company to convert three Embraer Lineage 1000 regional jetliners into long-range maritime patrol aircraft for its Navy.
The contract with Leonardo involves the acquisition of two aircraft to join the single Lineage 1000 already in Pakistan, followed by the design, modification, installation and integration of an anti-submarine warfare and maritime patrol package. The three planes will then be introduced into service as Sea Sultan patrol aircraft.
Follow-on contracts are expected to bring the total number of Sea Sultans to 10, replacing the country’s long-serving P-3C Orion fleet. Defense News learned in October that the Navy selected the Lineage 1000 to replace the fleet.
Under an additional contract, South Africa’s Paramount Group will handle the pre-conversion maintenance, repair and overhaul of the aircraft.
Pakistan’s Ministry of Defence Production, which handles acquisitions, did not reply to Defense News for comment.
A spokesperson with Leonardo declined to comment for this story. Similarly, Paramount Group declined to comment, citing “strict confidentiality agreements.”
However, Defense News obtained additional details from a source with knowledge of Pakistan’s ongoing defense programs. A closed tender was launched in November 2020 involving Leonardo, Germany’s Rheinland Air Services and Turkish Aerospace Industries on the basis of their proven maritime patrol aircraft conversion experience.
Rheinland previously won an order for the Sea Eagle maritime patrol aircraft conversion of ATR 72 propliners for the Pakistan Navy, beating out a rival offer from TAI, which offered a package based on that developed for the Turkish Navy’s ATR 72s.

Only Leonardo was shortlisted on a technical basis for the Lineage 1000 conversion. This was mainly on the basis of the Leonardo SeaSpray radar installed on the RAS 72 Sea Eagle aircraft and Sea King helicopters, and the trusted Italian-origin torpedo-release systems already installed on the Pakistan Navy’s anti-submarine warfare aircraft, and which would certainly be fitted to the Sea Sultan.
Leonardo also has a good relationship with Pakistan’s other military branches, supplying Grifo radars for Mirage III and F-7PG Fishbed fighters, delivering AW139 helicopters, and helping procure refurbished M109 self-propelled howitzers.
After three months of detailed technical discussions, and the securing of internal funds from Pakistan’s Armed Forces Development Plan, a $190 million contract was signed between the Ministry of Defence Production and Leonardo in the penultimate week of June.
Brazil, where Embraer is based, is also developing a maritime patrol aircraft program based on conversion of the Lineage 1000 to replace it P-3B Orion fleet, but there appears to be no cooperation between the two programs.
Pakistan’s 2010 acquisition of Mectron-made PAA-1 Piranha within-visual-range missiles (now SIATT after the parent company spun off the Mectron unit) and MAR-1 anti-radiation missiles did not lead to previously promised defense industry cooperation.
Aerospace expert Justin Bronk at the Royal United Services Institute said expectations of international cooperation on the Lineage 1000 conversion programs wasn’t realistic.
“MPA mission systems are actually some of the most sensitive programs in the defense aviation world, and so there may be security reasons why Pakistan and/or Brazil would chose not to cooperate on a Lineage 1000 conversion,” he said.
Tom Kington in Rome contributed to this report.

How will they determine a "British Pakistani" from an Indian? Is it Pakistan ID or Passport holders?
I would love to go and take a peak if i knew how to get on the tour !!!!
Does anyone have any more background information on this?
