Swiftships Shipbuilders has been awarded a contract by the US Department of Defense for detail, design and construction of four 28m-long coastal patrol crafts (CPCs) for the Egyptian Navy.

The $20.2m contract is a modification to a previously awarded contract under the foreign military sales programme.

Under the latest contract, Swiftships will also provide two co-assembly kits and two co-production kits, and associated crew familiarisation training and technical services.

The kits include all necessary material and will be shipped to Egypt for the construction of the four CPCs by a local workforce.
