New Ships for Latvian Coast Guard, Navy
Sea Power, Dec 2006
The Latvian Coast Guard (LCG) has selected Abeking & Rasmussen of Germany as the preferred bidder for the acquisition of five new patrol boats. Abeking & Rasmussen was one of the three finalists, the others being Lurssen Werft of Germany and Umoe Mandai of Norway. The LCG selected the Abeking 25-meter SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) design for its versatility and ability to operate in shallow water.
The Latvian government will enter into direct negotiations with Abeking & Rasmussen to finalize a construction contract, which could be accomplished by mid-2007. The first unit could be delivered by the end of 2008, followed by the remainder of the class in 2009.
Also, the first Dutch Alkmaarclass mine-countermeasures vessel sold to the Latvian Navy is being readied for transfer. The vessel will be renamed LVNS Imanta and turned over to Latvia Dec. 18. Four additional units will be transferred in 2007 and 2008.
The five Alkmaar-class vessels were sold to Latvia in a July 2006 agreement worth $69.4 million. They will replace the two Kondor II-class coastal minesweepers and one Lindau-class coastal minehunter currently in Latvian naval service.
