This
contract is again proof of the good, ongoing relationship between the
Mexican Navy and Damen. The three SPa 4207 vessels, known in Mexico
as the Ténochtitlan class, will be built by the Mexican Navy
Yard ASTIMAR 1 in Tampico. Damen will provide the engineering, material
package, technical assistance and crew training.
The vessels will be named after Mexican historical sites and are expected
to be launched in 2016. With these three patrol vessels, the total number
of vessels in the Ténochtitlan class will come to ten.
Damen Coastal and Offshore Patrol Vessels already operate for years
in the coastal waters of the USA, Canada, Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas,
Mexico, Honduras, Cape Verde and the Netherlands. |
