Damen to Help Design Frigates for the Colombian Navy

Damen is collaborating with Colombia’s COTECMAR to develop Contractual Design for the next generation of frigates for the Colombian Navy.

The signing ceremony took place on Sept. 27 on board of the ARC Almirante Padilla in the Naval Base ARC Bolivar in Cartagena, Colombia.

The design for the program Plataforma Estratégica de Superficie (‘PES’) is based on the design of the SIGMA 10514 that was successfully constructed in other non-Damen shipyards. During the contract, the two companies will update the design in order to meet the requirements of the end user, the Colombian Navy.
