U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam Ted Osius on Monday handed over six 45-foot Metal Shark patrol boats to the Vietnam Coast Guard (VCG) in Quang Nam, Region II, marking another important step in the expanding security cooperation between the two countries, according to the US Embassy.

Delivering these patrol vessels represents deepening cooperation in the areas maritime law enforcement, maritime search and rescue, and maritime humanitarian assistance operations within Vietnam’s territorial waters and exclusive economic zone.

These patrols boats will assist VCG Region II in intercostal patrols and law enforcement in smuggling, illicit trafficking, piracy and armed robbery against ships, and illegal fishing.

Immediately after the transfer, VCG will begin to train on and operate the vessels, making them fully operational.

“Vietnam’s future prosperity depends upon a stable and peaceful maritime environment. The United States and the rest of the international community also benefit from regional stability, which is why we are here today, and it is why we are very pleased to be working together with the Vietnam Coast Guard,” said Ambassador Osius at the handover ceremony.

The U.S. Embassy, through its Office of Defense Cooperation, coordinates U.S.-Vietnam security cooperation activities on behalf of U.S. Pacific Command to advance common defense goals and interests.

This cooperation, as agreed upon in the September 2011 Memorandum of Understanding on defense cooperation, includes security assistance and educational exchanges between the U.S. and Vietnamese militaries.

      Pernah ke laut bro? I have. The rhib went missing after searching for their mothership. Add a broken radio to that and u have a recepie fo disaster. Bot itu juga tidak mempunyai bekalan myk yg mencukupi utk sampai ke daratan. Sure there were room for improvement tp yg penting semuanya selamat. What irritates me is when people keep asking if the mother ship @ KD Perdana was to old / decrepit and that contributed to the problem. Well genius the same people argued if we even need newer ships in the first place. A bunch of $@/^%!!. Now u know what our serviceman had to work with in order for u to sleep well at night.
