Successful sea trials of Royal Moroccan Navy rigate

摘要

The 98m long SIGMA class frigate, the third frigate built by Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding for the Royal Moroccan Navy, left Vlissingen for her sea acceptance trials (SAT) in the North Sea. During the SAT, an intensive program was carried out in which the platform as well as the sensor weapons and communications suite were extensively tested to the full satisfaction of the Royal Moroccan Navy. The tests were performed by representatives of the yard in close cooperation with representatives of the subcontractors, the Royal Moroccan Navy, and the Royal Netherlands Navy. The first SIGMA frigate was transferred to the Royal Moroccan Navy on 10 September 2011 and the second on 10 March 2012.
