The Egyptian Navy will be supplied with nine Lurssen patrol boats as well as a single coastal defence boat from Germany under a 130 million euro deal says a  letter from Federal Economics Minister Peter Altmaier (CDU) to the Economic Committee of the Bundestag, the German parliament.

The contract was first intended for Saudi Arabia but it failed to materialize, the Arabian nation Saudi had ordered 35 vessels from Lurssen in 2013, but was denied following an arms embargo placed on it Germany in November 2018 due to its involvement in Yemen and the Jamal Khashoggi affair.

Although, Lurssen had already delivered 15 and completed another seven. The first TNC 35 was delivered to Saudi Arabia’s Border Guards in November 2016.
