Yes posted, tender was floated and wasn't according to the merit. Pakistani company was not awarded tender even though they confirmed and offered to develop 2 engine tanker. The contract is awarded to some foreign company who offered single engine high cost tanker. Congrats 5 million dollars corruption/kickbacks.

Indian Navy recently commissioned INS DEEPAK which is a brand new (double engine?) tanker manufactured by the Italians at US$120 millions each (they have purchased two tankers).

The more news comes out regarding PN acquisitions the more I am convinced that the top brass are full of thugs and slowly converting PN into coast guard.

Qiandaohu (Fuchi) Class Auxiliary Oiler Replenishment Ship

PNS Moawin is ex-Dutch 'junk' and 1/2 of the PN AOR fleet of 2 ships. Transferred in July 1994 from the Dutch Navy, where she was known as HNLMS Poolster (Polar Star). First commissioned july 1964. So, she served NL for 30 years and the Pakistan for another 17 years. How's that for junk...
Her younger (1975) sister will be decommissioned in 2014 and may be come up for sale.
