The Peruvian Ministry of Defense has signed a $300 million contract with Peru's government shipyard SIMA for the construction of 13 naval vessels. The vessels will be built at SIMAs main shipyard in Callao and small vessel facility at SIMA Iquitos. South Korea's Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) and Samsung Thales are providing technical support. The 13 ships include two 7,000-ton logistic support ships, one sail training ship, four offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) and six coastal patrol boats. All of these vessels are believed to be of South Korean designs as DSME signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Peruvian government in April to build and modernize its naval vessels.
