"The latest development marks the completion of the modernisation programme for two units of the Algerian Navy."

The company also added that the successful completion of the project may offer Navantia the opportunity to participate in the Algerian Navy’s future naval programmes.

In May this year, Navantia launched the final fast landing craft (LLC), constructed for the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).

The launch of the vessel was part of a contract awarded to Navantia in 2011 for the supply of 12 LLCs to the RAN.

RAN’s new vessel features a flexible loading capacity, which is capable of accommodating an Abrams vehicle, several army vehicles, fusiliers’ company, or a 20ft container truck.
