Malaysian shipbuilder Shin Yang Shipping Corporation (Shin Yang) has delivered two 80 metre LCT training vessels, the 'Alquwaisat' and the 'Aputaisi' commissioned by the United Arab Emirates Navy.
"Our business relationship with the UAE Navy started way back in 1998 after we sold a vessel," said chief executive officer Captain Ting Hien Liong at the launching ceremony for the training vessels at Piasau Slipways in Kuala Baram.
The business relationship blossomed and a series of orders for vessels were made by the navy to Shin Yang over the years, said Captain Ting.
"'Alquwaisat' and 'Alputaisi' were the eight and ninth vessels commissioned by the UAE Navy to us and we believe that this cordial business relationship will continue to grow," he added.
Present at the ceremony was Shin Yang executive director Ling Chiong Pin. The UAE Navy was represented by Col Mahmoud Yousif Basif Alzarooni, Col Abdulla Yousif Abdulla Alhammad, Major Mohamed Rashed Aldhanhani and Major Omar Taresh Moosa Alali.
