The first of the three hulls that H2X will deliver to CMN for the contract with Mozambique left the workshops on Monday, September 8. The hull will leave La Ciotat, France, on Friday, September 12 to reach Cherbourg aboard the cargo Spirit. It will then be motorized and equipped in CMN shipyard.

CMN confirmed in September 2013 the signing of a major export contract with Mozambique. The contract includes the delivery of three OCEAN EAGLE 43 trimaran patrol vessels, three HSI 32 interceptors and eighteen fishing vessels for a total of twenty-four ships.

OCEAN EAGLE 43

The OCEAN EAGLE 43 is a revolutionary concept with exceptional performance designed to meet the needs of maritime surveillance and security. The OCEAN EAGLE 43 is the result of a fruitful collaboration between CMN, naval architect Nigel Irens, ProLarge and SeaTeam Aviation companies, two small businesses specialized in logistics and operational projects at sea.

The OCEAN EAGLE 43 is a compact high-performance multifunction vessel that is suited to protect coastal areas, strategic offshore infrastructures. It can also conduct electronic warfare and intelligence missions through the use of 300 Kg class VTOL UAV (such as the SCHIEBEL S100 Camcopter).

The OCEAN EAGLE 43 offers an unmatched cost to performance ratio:
» 3,000 nautical miles autonomy at 20 knots
» Top speed of 30 knots sustainable over a distance of 1,000 nautical miles
» Limited crew of 7 sailors
» Accomodations for 8 additional Special Forces
