Launching of the second of three offshore patrol vessels ordered by Senegal

Mise à flot Niani Kership

The launching of the ‘NIANI’, the second ocean-going patrol vessel for the Senegalese Navy, took place today in Concarneau (29). This step illustrates the continuation of the programme for the supply of three ocean-going patrol boats.

At the same time, the first unit is being fitted out alongside the quayside before starting sea trials, and the third is also being fitted out before being launched.

The contract was signed in November 2019 by Senegal’s Ministry of the Armed Forces and the PIRIOU Group.
