Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB) has been awarded a new contract to build four landing craft for the Bahrain Naval Forces.
This is the second Bahraini order for Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB). The new contract, awarded by the Kingdom of Bahrain Defence Force, is for the construction of two 42-metre steel landing craft and two 16-metre landing craft made of composite materials. The work will be undertaken at ADSB’s Mussafah shipyard. The steel vessels are designed for troops and vehicle or cargo transportation and for beach landings in Gulf coastal waters. The 16-metre craft, the Sea Keeper 715, will be built in ADSB’s state-of-the-art composite workshop and with a capability of travelling at over 35 knots, are designed for the rapid deployment of personnel and supplies. Meanwhile, work is also currently underway at the Mussafah shipyard on the refit and upgrade of ten Bahrain Coast Guard patrol boats in a contract that was awarded last year.
