Speaking at the launching ceremony, Colonel Nguyen Quang Hung, Director of Logistics and Technical Affairs of the Viet Nam Coast Guard, affirmed that through practical operation, TT-400 high-speed patrol vessels have proved their technical and tactical capabilities, effectively carrying out the tasks of managing and safeguarding national sovereignty over seas and islands.
“The implementation of the project to build the 12th TT-400 high-speed patrol vessel demonstrates the attention and investment of the Party, the State, and the Ministry of National Defence to the Viet Nam Coast Guard, while also affirming the superiority of this class of vessel,” Colonel Nguyen Quang Hung emphasised.
The Director of Logistics and Technical Affairs of the Viet Nam Coast Guard highly appreciated the efforts and careful preparations made by Song Thu Corporation, as well as the close coordination among the functional agencies of the Coast Guard, the Naval Engineering Institute, the Naval Registry Office, and the supervision consultancy unit. Their coordination helped ensure that the launch of the 12th TT-400 high-speed patrol vessel took place as scheduled, creating a basis for the next stages in the vessel’s construction process.
To ensure the project is completed on schedule and meets the required quality, Colonel Nguyen Quang Hung asked Song Thu Corporation to continue working closely with the standing agency of the investor and the construction supervision consultancy unit, among others; to strictly follow procedures and regulations on the procurement and import of materials and equipment for the new vessel in accordance with current law; to concentrate human resources and materials on shipbuilding in line with the technical design dossier; and to properly fulfil the cooperation commitments between the Viet Nam Coast Guard and the corporation.
