The process of replacing the Spanish Navy's old auxiliary vessels has taken a new step today with an official announcement.<\/p>\n

The Council of Ministers this Tuesday approved the acquisition of a second ship of what it already calls the \"Carnota\" class<\/a> for the Spanish Navy. Let us remember that the multipurpose ship \"Carnota\" A-61 was delivered on December 4<\/a> in a ceremony held at the Arsenal de Ferrol. Currently, this ship is based at the La Gra\u00f1a Naval Station<\/strong>, located on the outskirts of the city of Ferrol.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Council of Ministers' reference to this second vessel states the following: \"This contract is part of the process of replacing the Navy's obsolete auxiliary vessels<\/strong> with the aim of contributing to the Joint Force in transport, general logistical support, towing and salvage tasks<\/strong>, which are essential for Presence, Surveillance and Deterrence Operations and for supporting Response Operations<\/strong>, as well as for supporting other State Administrations.\"<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Finally, the reference of the Council of Ministers indicates the amount of this contract: 24 million euros<\/strong>. This is a considerably higher price than the first ship of its class. Let us remember that the \"Carnota\" A-61 was acquired for an amount of almost 15 million euros<\/a>. This ship was bought second-hand, so possibly the difference in price is explained by the fact that the new ship is newly built.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The \"Carnota\" A-65 was launched as a civilian vessel under the name \"Ocean Osprey\"<\/strong> at the Zamakona Yards shipyard in Pasajes (Guip\u00fazcoa) on August 21, 2013, being an order of the Norwegian shipping company Atlantic Offshore, with the purpose of serving as a supply ship for oil platforms in the North Sea. The \"Ocean Osprey\" initially sailed under the Norwegian flag with the radio call sign LAVG8<\/strong>, and later flew the flag of the British colony of Gibraltar with the call sign ZDSI9. The \"Carnota\" A-65 was adapted for military life at the Metalship & Docks shipyard in Vigo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As we saw in December, Zamakona Yards built a second vessel identical to the \"Ocean Osprey\", the \"Ocean Marlin\"<\/a>, launched in February 2014, and a third, the \"Ocean Falcon\"<\/a>, launched in November 2014. Both vessels, like the \"Ocean Osprey\", were ordered by Atlantic Offshore.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The \"Ocean Marlin\" continues to sail under the Norwegian flag, while the \"Ocean Falcon\" sails under the British flag. The design of these ships is called Havyard HY820<\/strong>. At the time it was already published that the estimated cost of the \"Ocean Falcon\" was around 25 million euros<\/a>, which would confirm that the second ship of the \"Carnota\" class for the Spanish Navy would be a new ship and not a second-hand one.<\/p>\n
