Pakistan Navy’s 2300 Tons OPVs launched by Damen

[Champion_Usmani]

We don't have free space in our ship yard all docks have ships in them being built.

The contract was modified to higher weight class.

You mean the contract for OPVs was modified to corvettes??

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Its the OPV patrol ship

 

[ARMalik]

Logically, the Ship is being built as per Pakistan's requirements. Hence I would not be surprised that once the ship is received by PN, it undergoes Weapons and radar fit-out.

How many ships are being built by Pakistan in karachi as of now? I don't remember any large number of ships being ordered by Pakistan. The submarine with China has not yet started and the indigenous manufacturing will start only in 2023 when China will deliver 2 submarine. There is not any known order in large numbers that can keep Karachi occupied completely, at least in my knowledge.

Also, Romania has nothing to boast about. Making ships in Romania instead of Karachi is questionable.

> Karachi shipyard production capacity is limited and occupied ... as new 17000 ton tanker and utility ship have been made

> 2nd question regarding submarine is that first 4 will be made in china and will be delivered by 2023 .. afterwards KSEW will take charge

> 1 ADA class will be made at KSEW

> This OPV is from damen and Damen don't have any manufacturing unit in Pakistan .. So it is made in Romania at DAMEN facility

Then we need more dockyards ... these can subsequently be used for construction of merchant ships

First of all bro your knowledge is limited because you are from a different country and not Pakistan. Secondly the indigenous production is not limited to only Chinese subs we have other ships that also need to be built. Karachi ship yard is always under constant work load and new shipyards are bening built as well. When I told you there is no free slot in Karachi that means we don't have space it is totally booked.

Romanian shipyard is being used the ship is not Romanian design but ditch design.

@Champion_Usmani the ship is not from any Damen class it is custom built there is no 2300 tons ship design with Damen. The final weight might go higher as weapon system will not be European and will be fitted later on. This is my opinion.

More yards are under construction bro. The project have already started for more yards at Gwadar. I post the thread time back bro if you search you will find it.

LAUNCHING CEREMONY OF FIRST CORVETTE VESSEL BUILT FOR PAKISTAN NAVY HELD IN ROMANIA

 

[Quwa]

Seriously, Romania makes better ships than Pakistan, Romania?
This is a joke, where did our ship building skills go?

It's the Dutch company Damen outsourcing the work to a Romanian shipyard. The steel, engines, electronics, etc are still coming from various parts of Europe.

Oh, I see
Still doesn't explain why we couldn't build this size of ship.

Yup, no amount of excuses are legitimate

 

[YeBeWarned]

@Rashid Mahmood bhai will it be carrying CM is war times ?

 

[Muhammad Omar]

How Many Pakistan is getting these ships?

Unless Pakistan can push an original design with its own choice of steel, engine, etc vendors, building it locally isn't going to do much lower costs.

 

[Cool_Soldier]

Cool addition.
PN can make it hot addition by adding necessary weapon punch.
