The vessel is slated to be delivered to the Qatari Navy by Fincantieri in 2021.

In 2016, Fincantieri signed a €4bn contract with the Qatari Ministry of Defence (MoD) for the development and delivery of a total of seven surface vessels, with four of these corvettes, one amphibious vessel landing platform dock (LPD) and two offshore patrol vessels (OPVs).

The contract also includes delivery of support services in Qatar for an additional period of ten years after delivery of the ships.

In July, Fincantieri carried out the steel-cutting ceremony for the first Doha-class vessel at the company’s shipyard in Muggiano, La Spezia, marking the beginning of ship construction work.
