France is selected to provide offshore patrol vessels for the Saudi Navy, which wants to better secure its coasts. But for now, this contract is to be negotiated, still raises many questions, particularly on the sites responsible for making ships

Arabie saoudite : une trentaine de patrouilleurs commandés en France

This is a first step that seem decisive Kership in Saudi Arabia. The joint venture formed in 2013 by DCNS and Piriou was chosen by Prince Salman, the defense minister of Saudi Arabia and Crown Prince of Saudi dynasty to produce between 25 and 30 patrol vessels of 30 meters, according to our information. Either a contract valued at 500 million euros. In addition, fifteen additional vessels are optional. Saudi Arabia and Kership will negotiate the contract in 2015.

Kership was competing against the French shipyard CMN and Océa (mechanical constructions of Normandy). In addition, patrol of 30 meters, Saudi Arabia would buy small patrol boats of 12 meters. Saudi Arabia wants fast delivery rates to protect its coasts and harbors against terrorist attacks. At year end, a source had told The Tribune that the Saudi Ministry of Defence would be decided very quickly after having the injunction to consume budgets.
