ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) has won a contract worth an approximate $44.7 million to provide engineering and technical services for the modernization of Peruvian Navy submarines.

Work will include consulting services during the planning and realization of modernization work on four HDW 209/1200-class submarines and technical services such as cutting and welding on the submarines and provision of specialists locally for the work, the company said in a statement Wednesday.

The submarines to be modernized over a seven-year period were built by Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft in the early 1980s in Kiel, Germany.
