Israel Shipyards has announced on its LinkedIn page the signing of an agreement with an African navy for supply of two OPV 45 Offshore Patrol Vessels. The agreement that has been signed, to provide significant naval protection assets against the increasing threat of piracy in the region, also includes ongoing support and training of the technical and operational teams as well as the creation of a maintenance program within the framework of the company’s Integration Logistic Support (ILS) services.

According to Eitan Zucker, CEO of Israel Shipyards, “Since the launch of the OPV 45 vessel at the IMDEX exhibition in Singapore last year, navies around the world have expressed great interest in this new vessel due to its cost-effectiveness and suitability for a wide range of missions. We believe that this vessel will make a significant contribution to maritime border protection in Africa.”

Since 1959, Israel Shipyards Ltd has been providing maritime solutions for military and commercial markets.
