The Egyptian Navy will be supplied with nine Lurssen patrol boats and a single coastal defence boat from Germany under a 130 million euro deal signed last year November.

The boats were initially intended for Saudi Arabia but the deal was cancelled following an arms embargo placed by Germany in November 2018, due to Saudi’s involvement in Yemen and the Jamal Khashoggi affair.

The Arabian nation Saudi had ordered 35 vessels from Lurssen in 2013, with Lurssen had delivering 15 and completing another seven. The first TNC 35 was delivered to Saudi Arabia’s Border Guards in November 2016.
