Thus we increased the life, the operating time of Turkish Naval Forces’ frigates 25 years more. As we believed we could use our capacity in this Project as well, we entered this market. Our officials have been efficiently working in this market for 1,5 years and Stocznia Gdynia Naval Shipyard has a great capability in this matter too. It is a great expert in manufacturing ships. As a result of these talks, we have signed an agreement on joining our capacities and capabilities in manufacturing ships and in the modernization of their frigates”.
