Equipment in storage not obsolete yet, says Boustead Naval Shipyard

Five Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) scheduled to be delivered this month to the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) are only 22 to 60 per cent completed, while one more ordered has yet to be built. Boustead Naval Shipyard Sdn Bhd (BNS) also clarified that 15 per cent of the equipment kept in storage for the LCS project is not obsolete but "in the process of becoming obsolete" or obsolescence. BNS chief executive officer Azhar Jumaat said this in clarifying matters highlighted by the Parliamentary Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and other claims made by certain quarters regarding the Navy's LCS. When listing out the construction statuses of the six ships, he said the first ship is at 60 per cent completion, followed by the second ship at 48 per cent, the third ship (43 per cent), the fourth ship (36 per cent), the fifth ship (22 per cent), while the construction of the sixth ship has yet to begin. He said these were the latest in the development of these vessels, and it was based on the physical work carried out. He said the latest data had also been presented to the cabinet last April. He said in a two-hour media briefing involving 40 media practitioners on the construction of the LCS at the RMN Base here today. ---------------------------------- #NST #NSTTV visit us at www.nst.com.my our Facebook www.facebook.com/nstonline more news at www.twitter.com/NST_Online and also www.instagram.com/nstonline
