W&O Supply has signed a framework agreement with Damen Naval to supply valves, filters and instrumentation for the construction of German Navy's multi-purpose combat vessel.
Three new Damen search and rescue vessels have been handed over to Jawar al Khaleej (JAK) in a ceremony held on 23 September at Albwardy Damen in Sharjah, within five months after the contract was signed.
Damen Shipyards has started a construction programme of three shallow draft multipurpose support vessels at Albwardy Damen in the UAE, in anticipation of an increase in offshore and dredging activity.
The new autonomous robots will initially be powered by hybrid energy but can be upgraded to 100% electric in the future for use in environments that require zero emissions.
After Mexico and Brazil, Colombia will be the third country in Latin America that is able to build these types of complex naval vessels under license at its own shipyards.
