and to perform the above task, they were given 20 years old ships from Royal Malaysia Navy, Fishery and Police Marine boat that by standard are closed to scrap metal. 

After 10 years fighting , 2015 MMEA saw some light, as they were approved by Government  to build six units of Coastal Patrol Vessels for RM381.30 million. The construction of the vessels will be done in stages; with the first vessel expected to be delivered to MMEA by December 2016 while the last vessel is expected to be delivered by June 2018. 

The Coastal Patrol Vessels are state of the art vessels with a comprehensive specification. The vessels can achieve a top speed of 24 knots and will have a complement of 41 crew members. The vessels will also be equipped with a 30mm weapon system and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for reconnaissance, designed by Fassmer Group, a very established shipyard from Germany to ensure that the vessels are delivered with excellent quality standards. 

The programme already in delay compare to the original project Planning. No proper project Management team from the date it's was launched and announce. 

Recently 1 x Captain in rank was appointed to be the Project Leader , he is known as very clean person and reputable person. Hopefully , this shipbuilding project will break a record as the only shipbuilding project in Malaysia deliver in time.
