ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and China signed a landmark agreement on Wednesday for construction of six patrol vessels for Maritime Security Agency (PMSA).

The agreement was signed today during a ceremony at the Ministry of Defence Production (MoDP) in Rawalpindi.

Documents were signed by M/s China Ship Trading Company (M/s CSTC) and the Pakistani government on behalf MoDP.

According to the agreement, four ships will be constructed in China with the remaining two will be built at Karachi's Shipyard and Engineering Works under Transfer of Technology.

The spokesman for MoDP said that acquisition of new ships is a step towards PMSA's capacity building by the government which will boost the agency's operational preparedness for protection of resources in Pakistan's Exclusive Economic Zone and fishery protection.

The spokesman further said that new ships will be used for maritime law enforcement operations against drug trafficking and illegal immigration.

Last year, the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (Ecnec) approved eight development projects worth Rs157 billion, including two signature projects of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-N – first phase of Pakistan-China Economic Corridor (PCEC)

The committee had also approved Rs13.87bn for procurement of six maritime patrol vessels for Pakistan Maritime Security Agency.

We are discussing procurement for PMSA and that is required keeping in mind the development of Gawadar and also other new navy ports and stations along the coast line.

They could almost be like 056s without too many fancy equipment.
Interesting to see what the proposed vessel would look like
 
After submarine and frigates deal, this is another good news. :)

This is not success story. Practically this missile boat is not feasible in battle field . Very noisy, diesel guzzler, no cruze speed. No anti defence mechanism. just a show piece.
This kind of Missile hardly ever have Air Defence systems and it's mainly for defence

This is missile boat not gun boat. Purpose of this boat is to serve the main battle front. Strike enemy ship or land asset. It carries expensive multiple guided missiles not some 7.62 mm for coastal patrolling to catch smugglers.
