In response, coastal governments have shown extensive interest in procuring their own small, light, fast attack and interceptor craft to meet and counter this threat. Building very fast but capable boats sounds deceptively easy, but the truth is that it\u2019s a real challenge requiring special expertise.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cHigh-speed vessels at the lengths we specialise in, are the most difficult types to build,\u201d Mr L\u00f3pez added. \u201cThey must be secure but also robust enough for heavy-duty use.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/A5.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8679 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/A5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1090\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/A5.png 1920w, https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/A5-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/A5-1024x581.png 1024w, https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/A5-768x436.png 768w, https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/A5-1536x872.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aresashipyard.com\/\">Aresa<\/a> has strategically positioned itself as a specialist builder within that niche. Its ability to build fast, safe, light and highly capable vessels for the world\u2019s navies has seen it becoming the manufacturer of choice for navies in the African region.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe are really focused on small and medium-sized vessel construction. That\u2019s what\u2019s been coming to us in the last three projects we\u2019ve executed,\u201d explained Mr L\u00f3pez, CEO of ARESA SHIPYARD.\u201c<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis trend began emerging several years ago and it has led to a massive increase in demand from our customers for fast coastal patrol boats. Customers are looking for smaller, faster vessels with lower maintenance costs and shorter maintenance windows. Navies want faster vessels they can operate easily and get out of the harbour within minutes. We\u2019re now focusing on delivering these very fast boats.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cFor example, our last order from the Saudi Navy was for ten vessels of 17m in length capable of reaching 60 knots. Later to that, we delivered four 18m vessels capable of 40 knots, to the Nigerian Navy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Any colour as long as it\u2019s black<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Naval special forces are a particularly enthusiastic customer for Aresa\u2019s boats.

It\u2019s travelling at more than 60 knots, which is impressive compared to similar models from France and the UK. This project will go down as a record for our company because of the customer\u2019s acceptance of the project and the way the navy is promoting it in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/A7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8681 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/A7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/A7.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/A7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/A7-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The other new product is the Aresa 5000-4000 Peacestorm offshore patrol vessel.

Peacestorm will be powered by 7,500hp waterjets or propellers and thanks to its lightweight construction, is expected to reach a top speed of 35 knots.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/photo5936007487746585847.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8682 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/photo5936007487746585847.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1385\" height=\"814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/photo5936007487746585847.jpg 1385w, https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/photo5936007487746585847-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/photo5936007487746585847-1024x602.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/photo5936007487746585847-768x451.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1385px) 100vw, 1385px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe are already in negotiation with three defence customers who are interested in this model,\u201d Mr L\u00f3pez revealed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Two Fast attack Boats are carried on the aft deck for high-speed interception missions while the bridge, armoured to NIJ Level III+ is combat-ready and designed to stay in the fight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mr L\u00f3pez also wished to highlight the new 4 units contract , that the company has delivered to the Nigerian Navy.
