Navantia Signs Contract to Repair and Modernize Two Patrol Vessels for the Angolan Navy

Navantia has signed a contract to repair and modernize two Mandume-class patrol vessels for the Angolan Navy. The work will be carried out at its shipyard in San Fernando (Cádiz).

The agreement was signed with Simportex, the Angolan state company responsible for managing contracts for the Ministry of Defense. The vessels undergoing the work are the "Golfinho" and the "Atlântico," built in the early 1990s.

The contract will allow for the repair of both patrol vessels to extend their operational life and improve their operational conditions. The agreement also includes training in Spain for several officers of the Angolan Navy.

Additionally, Navantia will provide two years of support during the vessels' lifecycle and transfer technical knowledge to the Angolan Navy. The goal is to enable the country's personnel to perform maintenance tasks once they return to their facilities.
