DCNS launches Moroccan FREMM frigate




DCNS launches Moroccan FREMM frigate












On 14 September 2011, DCNS launched the FREMM multimission frigate for the Royal Moroccan Navy. The launch took place at DCNS's Lorient shipyard in the presence of senior Moroccan and French officials and is a major milestone in the construction of the vessel, scheduled for delivery in 2013.

DCNS today launched the FREMM multimission frigate for Morocco. The event at the Group's Lorient shipyard was attended by Admiral Laghmari, Inspector General of Royal Moroccan Navy, Admiral Verwaerde of the French Navy and Patrick Boissier, Chairman & CEO of DCNS.

Around 500 DCNS personnel and guests watched as the first FREMM frigate for an export customer was manoeuvred by tugs to the quayside at DCNS's Lorient facility.
Construction of this state-of-the-art warship for the Royal Moroccan Navy began at Lorient in December 2008.

As a frontline frigate, it will enhance the Royal Moroccan Navy's operational capabilities. Designed for reduced crewing, with a complement of just over 100, it will operate in anti-air, anti-ship and anti-submarine warfare roles.

In the next few months, DCNS personnel at the Lorient facility will continue assembly work on the vessel at the quayside. The next major phase is installation of the mast infrastructure, which will house the vessel's sensor suites.

FREMM, A MAJOR PROGRAMME FOR DCNS AND PARTNERS
The French FREMM programme calls for 12 ships — 11 for the French Navy and one for the Royal Moroccan Navy.

FREMM frigates are among the most technologically advanced and competitively priced on the world market. These heavily armed warships are being built under DCNS prime contractorship to carry state-of-the-art weapons and systems including the Herakles multifunction radar, Aster anti-air missiles, Exocet MM40 anti-ship missiles and MU90 torpedoes.

These innovative multirole frigates are designed to respond to all types of threats with unparalleled flexibility, interoperability and availability. The contract to build a FREMM frigate for the Royal Moroccan Navy demonstrates that the type also meets the needs and expectations of international client navies.

FREMM technical data:
• Length overall: 142 m
• Beam: 20 m
• Displacement: 6,000 tonnes
• Max. speed: 27 knots
• Complement: 108 (including helicopter crew)
• Accommodation: 145 men and women

French shipbuilder DCNS has launched Morocco’s first and only FREMM frigate, just days after Morocco’s first SIGMA class frigate was handed over to the Royal Moroccan Navy.




The Royal Moroccan Navy is modernising and expanding its capabilities, especially with the acquisition of two French-built Floreal class frigates in 2002 and the purchase of three SIGMA frigates in 2008. Morocco’s first SIGMA class frigate, Tarik ben Ziyad, was on Monday, September 12th, 2011 transferred to the Royal Moroccan Navy after completing sea trials and outfitting. At the end of this month, after training is concluded, the Tarik ben Ziyad will start her maiden voyage to Morocco.






Morocco will use the FREMM frigate to patrol its long coastline and take part in joint operations with NATO and other navies. The Navy has also expanded the number of offshore and coastal patrol vessels to counter illegal fishing and people smuggling.





Morocco’s current naval fleet includes two Floréal-class frigates and a Descubierta-class corvette in addition to some 21 patrol craft and a number of other ships and vessels. Fourteen more patrol craft are also on order.

Morocco is in the process of upgrading its armed forces and is buying large amounts of military equipment. Last month the Royal Moroccan Air Force took delivery of the first of 24 Block 52 F-16 Fighting Falcons from Lockheed Martin, fitted with Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-229 Enhanced Engine Package engines and Raytheon ACES electronic warfare suites.






In July last year Alenia Aeronautica delivered the first of four C-27J Spartan transport aircraft, which were ordered in October 2008.




Morocco is currently taking delivery of 24 Hawker Beechcraft T-6C Texan II turboprop trainers to replace its Beechcraft T-34 Mentor and Cessna T-37 Tweets.

The Royal Moroccan Navy placed an order for three SIGMA frigates in April 2008.

The shipyard notes the vessels will be fitted with a 76mm Oto Melara main gun, as well as MBDA Exocet surface-to-surface and MICA surface-to-air missile system, the latter using vertical launch.
The frigates will further have flight decks and hangar accommodation for a medium-sized helicopter and be fitted with Eurotorp torpedo launchers.

The 105-metre frigate, named Tarik ben Ziyad, has left Vlissingen on
May 6 and wrapped up the trials May 20. The ship, bearing the pennant number 613, reportedly underwent a “very intensive programme … in which the platform as well as the sensor weapons and communications suite
was extensively tested. 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.








Damen, in a statement, said the commanding officer, Captain (RNLN) Jilles Goedknegt, “was very satisfied with the results of the sea trials.
The seakeeping capabilities and the maneuverability of the ship proved to be very good and the performance of the combat system were excellent.”




After successful sea trials and finishing of outfitting details, SIGMA-class Frigate Tarik ben Ziyad, built by Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding (DSNS) in Vlissingen, was transferred to Rear Admiral Mohamed Laghmari,
Commander in Chief of the Royal Moroccan Navy.

Once again DSNS has proven to be a highly reliable partner as the ship was delivered in time, on schedule and meeting all the requirements as stated in the contract.

The delivery of the first of three frigates was achieved within four years from the effective date of contract, after a period of thorough engineering and three years of construction.




After commissioning, the crew will continue with another three weeks of
Sail Safety Training in Den Helder and North Sea. This training will be conducted by training teams of the Royal Netherlands Navy.















At the end of September, after conclusion of this training period, the Tarik ben Ziyad started her maiden voyage to Morocco.
