Poland is poised to acquire new 60-meter coast guard ships from French Socarenem company to replace their ageing SKS-40 boats.
European Border and Coast Guard Agency, also known as Frontex, has granted €22 million for the purchase of the ships, reports LA Tribune.
A formal contract has not been signed because local shipbuilders are said to be unhappy with the Coast Guard’s decision to acquire French boats.
