Damen Shipyards has been awarded a contract by the Mexican Navy (Secretaria de Marina) to construct a patrol vessel and a fast crew supplier.
Under the deal, Damen will offer licence, material package and technical assistance for the construction of both vessels using the Damen Technical Cooperation programme, which allows clients to construct vessels on their selected location.
The first contract involves the construction of the seventh Tenochtitlan-class Damen Stan Patrol 4207 vessel, which will be built on the navy yard ASTIMAR 1 in Tampico, an area that has already completed three Stan patrol vessels.
Aimed at supporting missions such as the safety and security of mariners, search and rescue (SAR) and patrol duties in territorial waters, the Stan patrol vessels can also be deployed to assist in the conservation and protection of fisheries.
