By the way, Dutch media have reported that Damen is close to finalising a deal with Vietnam for two OPV's at EUR120 million each.

At the same time, other sources are claiming that Damen sold two SIGMA 9814 corvettes to Vietnam, so let's see how this turns out.

it is said that this OPV series was developed from the Holland class and from the development for the OPV designed for vietnam. no official reports on this though.
