According to information published by Damen on December 17, 2025, the Naval Shipyard has delivered the second Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) 2600 to the Pakistan Navy. The vessel, PNS Yamama, was officially handed over during a ceremony on December 17 at the Damen Shipyards facility in Constanta, Romania. This follows the delivery of the first OPV, PNS Hunain, earlier in the summer of 2024.
The delivery of PNS Yamama underscores a long-standing partnership between Damen and the Pakistan Navy, which began with the construction of two Yarmook-class OPVs in 2020. These earlier vessels, based on Damen’s OPV 1900 platform, set the stage for the advanced capabilities of the OPV 2600 series. With a displacement of 2,600 tons and a length of 98 meters, the new vessel is designed for diverse maritime operations. Its capabilities include patrolling, maritime security, and search and rescue missions.
