The ENS Port Said.
Alexandria Shipyard has delivered the first locally built Gowind 2500 corvette, ENS Port Said, to the Egyptian Navy.
The handover ceremony took place at Alexandria Shipyard on 6 January in the presence of the Commander-in-Chief of the Egyptian Navy, Vice Admiral Ahmed Khaled Hassan. The ship then sailed to its home base in Alexandria.
Alexandria Shipyard said the vessel (976) was launched in September 2018 and is the first modern warship to be built in Egypt.
In 2014 the Egyptian Navy ordered four Gowind 2500 corvettes for around 1 billion euros from France’s Naval Group (formerly DCNS), with one, El Fateh, built in Lorient and the other three being built in Egypt. El Fateh was delivered to Egypt in October 2017. The ENS El Moez was launched in May 2019 and the ENS Luxor was launched in May 2020.
