According to DCNS, the GOWIND 2500 is a reference product on the worldwide corvette market. This vessel responds to the needs of navies to have access to a complete and multi-mission combat vessel for sovereignty and maritime protection operations and the fight against illicit trafficking. Ten corvettes have already been ordered by Malaysia (6 units) and Egypt (4 units). The corvette on which the PSIM was fitted is El Fateh (hull number 971), the first Gowind for the Egyptian Navy. Cairo signed in 2014 a EUR 1 Billion contract for the procurement of four GOWIND 25000 corvettes (plus two more as an option). The contract included the necessary technology transfer; given that DCNS’ partner Alexandria Shipyard would build three of the vessels in Egypt. Consturction of the second vessel started in April this year, in Egypt. |
