IMO this will be replacement of PNS Moawin. Any idea that is there a option for another tanker? because we have Nasr also that will be needing replacement in 5 to 7 years.

STM(Savunma Teknolojileri Muhendislik) is a professional services company delivering consulting services, technical assistance and technology-oriented solutions in Defense, Energy, Education, Health, Transportation and Homeland Security. They are so many naval warship/support vessel designs joined into Milgem program and serious management/design share on U-214TN submarine program as well.

They design the solutions and outsource own designs for private shipyards(STM name doesn't contain outsourced platforms) so I don't know which design belongs to STM but Most probably, One of those three logistic vessel design will be transferd for Pakistan.

Better for the PN to work with them in JV to design and develop tankers of 21000 ton class that acts like suppport ships in terms of logistics, medical and oil supply. Along with designing of Mine Hunters of 700 tons class and new STUS, landing crafts and survey vessels and dragers as well...

Good job for us preventing Chinese to take this deal from our hands(like MRAP deal ) and good deal for Pakistan since ship will be constructed in Pakistan shipyards so there will be tech transfer without a doubt.

According to officials sources, the Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works is already constructing ships/craft for Pakistan Navy, however, this is the first time in the history of the country that Karachi Shipyeard and Engineering Works will build a Fleet Tanker/Logistics Support Ship at its facilities.



Construction of the Fleet Tanker is in line with Admiral Mohammad Asif Sandila, Chief of the Naval Staff's vision of achieving self-reliance and indigenization of defence equipment.
