Chili heeft sterke interesse in M-fregatten

https://www.noordhollandsdagblad.nl/cnt/dmf20190218_43601424/chili-heeft-sterke-interesse-in-m-fregatten via @nhdagblad

Ook nog nu ze de 2 Australische fregatten gaan aankopen ? Chili wil ook graag op de middellange termijn 8 fregatten bouwen van 132 m lengte en 5200 ton aan gewicht.
De 2 Australische fregatten zouden een interim oplossing zijn om 2 van de 3 te vervangen fregatten te vervangen, maar in een later stadium zoeken ze dan wel 8 nieuw te bouwen fregatten, schijnbaar kijken ze ook nog naar de MFF's, Type 23's en Halifax klasse fregatten.

Is het (intern) al bekend waar ze naar toe gaan of zijn er (vergaande) gesprekken met een mogelijke koper? Of staat er alleen maar vast dat ze verkocht gaan worden?
Ik begrijp dat je niet (te veel) kan zeggen.

Interim, maar voor welke schepen?
Want nog geen Outlook op wat het daarna gaat worden volgens mij?

Er moeten 2 L Fregatten en een Type 21 Fregat vervangen worden.

Canada announced new shipbuilding plans for its Coast Guard

The Canadian government announced a series of coast guard shipbuilding initiatives that includes the construction of 18 new vessels. The Coast Guard is set to receive two new Arctic Offshore Patrol Ships, modified for Coast Guard missions.

Irving Shipbuilding is already building a fleet of six AOPS for the Royal Canadian Navy. The 5,200-ton ships are 103.6 meters long, have an open-water speed of 17 knots, and a range of 6,800 nautical miles.

The Coast Guard is also investing in a fleet of up to 16 Multi-Purpose Vessels, which will conduct a variety of missions ranging including light icebreaking, environmental response, and offshore search and rescue. These vessels will be constructed at Seaspan's Vancouver Shipyards.

The government estimates these 18 vessels will cost CAD15.7 billion ($11.7 billion). This figure includes construction, logistics and support, management and infrastructure costs, and contingency funding for unexpected costs. The program budget is an early estimate, however, and is likely to change. The cost of each ship remains to be seen and will be announced after contracts have been negotiated.

The government also plans to pursue a competition for a new class of small Mid-Shore Multi-Mission Ships, which will be utilized in shallower waters and for mid-shore science operations.

To support future shipbuilding requirements, the government plans to add a third shipyard as a partner under the National Shipbuilding Strategy. Under the original framework of the NSS, Irving Shipbuilding was tasked with constructing combat vessels for the Navy, while Vancouver Shipyards was put in charge of building non-combat vessels. A competitive process will be used to select the third shipyard in the coming months.

Chile ready to finalise frigate acquisitions

The Chilean Navy is set to finalise the procurement of two Adelaide-class frigates by the end of May.

HMAS Melbourne and HMAS Newcastle , built in Australia in the early 1990s, would be acquired as a stop-gap measure to replace two of three Dutch- and British-built frigates currently in service in Chile.

Melbourne and Newcastle underwent an extensive upgrade during the last decade, being fitted with new combat management systems and anti-aircraft, anti-submarine warfare, and anti-surface vessel systems. They can launch both RIM-66 Standard (SM-2MR) medium-range surface-to-air missiles and RIM-162 ESSM missiles for long- and medium-range air defence, as well as RGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missiles.
