Naval Group Delivers Second Gowind Corvette to UAE
The delivery ceremony of the Gowind corvette Al Emarat, ordered by the UAE to Naval Group, took place on June 27 in Lorient in the presence of an official delegation of the UAE Navy, led by the Deputy Commander of the UAE Navy, Brigadier Abdulla Al Mehairbi.
Al Emarat is the second Gowind corvette ordered by the UAE to Naval Group in 2019. Built in Lorient and launched in May 2022, she started her sea trials in October 2023, at the time when the first corvette, Bani Yas, was delivered.
The Al Emarat crew will continue its operational ship training provided in France as part of the service solutions offered by Naval Group. The ship will begin its transit to the UAE under the Emirati flag in July, with an expected arrival in Abu Dhabi in August.
The UAE Navy now owns sea-proven surface combatants, incorporating the most advanced technologies and adapted to their specific needs thanks to the modular design of the Gowind family.
The Gowind corvettes for the UAE Navy were built at Naval Group’s Lorient shipyard, incorporating equipment manufactured locally by the UAE industry. Naval Group is strengthening its relationship with the UAE Navy to meet future challenges.
