Major naval warship project
Abu Dhabi: The Abu Dhabi Ship Building, Arabian Gulf's only specialised naval warship builder, has been awarded 'Al Saber' Project, a multi-million dollar contract to build 12 patrol boats for the UAE Coast Guard. The 34-metre boats, constructed in composite materials, have a 'Mother-Daughter' design. The 'mother' vessel has a stern ramp that accommodates a smaller, high-speed, 'daughter' boat, which will be used for fast interception. The patrol boats will be laminated in Abu Dhabi Ship Building's new state-of-the-art Composite Workshop at the company's Musaffah shipyard.
