Warships and OPV Conference Latin America 2016

WARSHIPS & OPV LATIN AMERICA OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED BY THE PERUVIAN NAVY

We are delighted to be hosted by the Peruvian Navy who are committed to a major fleet modernization program: in total, they will procure six frigates and four offshore patrol vessels as well as undertake significant modernization of the legacy fleet.

The Peruvian procurement is indicative of a trend in the Latin American market towards larger vessel acquisition in addition to smaller OPVs.

Attracting acquisition, capability development, R&D, engineering and operational Naval staff from across the continent, this annual conference has established itself as the surface fleet community event.  Each year we discuss the region's most pressing issues in vessel design, procurement and operational capability.  We are proud to build on our experiences hosting the conference in Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador to ensure that this conference stays at the forefront of the Latin American surface fleet community. 

On Saturday 2nd July SIMA PERU will conduct a tour of their shipyard facilities and the Peruvian Navy has organised a maritime interdiction exercise exclusively for conference attendees.
