LONDON (Alliance News) - BAE Systems PLC has won a GBP348 million contract from the British Government to build three Offshore Patrol Vessels, formalising a deal initially announced last year, Reuters reported Tuesday.
The vessels will be built at BAE's Clyde shipyards in Scotland, safeguarding around 800 jobs, and will be used in counter-terrorism, counter-piracy and anti-smuggling operations, the Ministry of Defence said.
