The Mexican Navy and Damen Shipyards have signed another contract for a Damen Stan Patrol 4207.
The Mexican Navy already operates two similar Patrol Vessels and currently has two ships under construction in their shipyard Astillero de Marina Numero 1 in Tampico, which is situated on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.
Tenochtitlan-Class
The vessel is the fifth one of the Tenochtitlan-class and will be constructed by the Mexican Navy, while Damen will supply a partial material package and technical assistance. The steel for the hull and part of the piping will be acquired by the Mexican Navy. Keel laying is expected to be early 2014. The vessel will be named Uxmal, after an ancient Mayan city on the Yucatan peninsula.
