The launch of the Tunisian patrol boat El Jem.
The Tunisian Navy has received another locally built patrol vessel under a partnership between the government and local private shipbuilding company Societe de Construction Industrielle et Navale (SCIN).
The vessel, El Jem (P213), was launched by defence minister Ibrahim Bartaji on 21 April at the port of Sfax, the Tunisian defence ministry said. Bartaji stated the public-private partnership with SCIN will continue with the construction of additional vessels.
El Jem is the fourth of seven locally built patrol vessels manufactured in the partnership with SCIN. The third, Kerkouane (P212) was launched on 8 May 2018 at Sfax. In March that year SCIN launched its second locally made patrol boat, the Utique (P211). The first, Istiklal (P201), was launched in August 2015.
