KARACHI: Handing over ceremony of 12 tonnes BP Tug built for Pakistan Navy (PN) was held at Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works (KSEW) Limited on Friday.

Vice Admiral Khan Hasham Bin Saddique Chief of Staff as chief guest appreciated KSEW efforts on culmination of yet another project for PN with the performance, which was much more than the intended specifications as observed during its test and trials. He said in pursuance of government policy of indigenisation and self- reliance, PN has always stood behind KS&EW to make rapid progress towards indigenisation. He said this approach would not only ensure timely availability of required vessels for PN but also expose KSEW to latest trends on technologies.
He re-assured PN would always support to make this strategic set up a more viable and progressive unit of the maritime sector.

Two caterpillar diesel engines and twin shafts propel the state of the art tug and is fitted with two diesel generators and other equipment like navigational radar, EM log, Echo Sounder, Hydraulic Crane, Gyrocompass etc. Modified Push Bow and fenders are specially designed for safe handling of the submarines.

Managing Director KSEW Rear Admiral Syed Hasan Nasir Shah highlighted this was 20th tug constructed by the shipyard and 6th in last three years.

He thanked Ministry of Defence Production and especially Pakistan Navy for their continued patronage and support and assured that all projects Would be delivered on time with best quality.
KSEW will soon start construction of 4 LNG tugs for PQA and 4 hopper barges for KPT along with other heavy engineering projects.

As regard projects from other maritime sector organizations, he showed his full confidence a contract for construction of 70 tonnes LNG tugs would be signed soon.

Penguin et.al ....which is a superior FFG - Type F-22P or Type 056 being built for BD Navy?

F-22P is larger, faster, has greater range and packs more armament/missiles.

F-22P is larger, faster, has greater range and packs more armament/missiles.

F-22P is a better option than having a Corvette. I am sure PN might be looking to have some 4 more with better systems and missiles.
