Three units out of four are built in Alexandria under a construction technology transfer agreement. The first corvette, El Fateh, the only one built in Lorient, was delivered in September 2017. Thanks to the high level of a fruitful cooperation and to the expertise and skills acquired by Alexandria Shipyard, the first Gowind built in Egypt and named Port Said was delivered in January 2021. The two corvettes are currently successfully in service with the Egyptian Navy. The third Gowind, El Moez, was launched in May 2019 and will be delivered in the coming weeks.
Finally, Luxor, the last of the series, is already in production and set to be delivered in 2022. Alexandria Shipyard can be proud of its achievement, the Gowind corvette is a state-of-art ship, concentrating the latest technologies. Egypt has demonstrated a high-level expertise that allows the country to build complex military vessels locally. Naval Group is very proud to be part of this fruitful cooperation which contributes to the long-lasting partnership between Egypt and France.
