After a little over a year of construction another Damen RoRo 5612 ship has been completed and was launched from the Song Thu Corporation's shipyard in Da Nang yesterday. This is the 4th ship of it's class in service with the Vietnam People's Navy but the only one that was actually directly ordered by the VPN.
The 3 ships that had been previously built in Vietnam were ordered by Venezuela but were never delivered. After lingering in Vietnamese shipyards for a couple months the VPN moved to purchase the vessels themselves.
These ships improve the VPN's amphibious, transport, and logistic capabilities. They would also be beneficial for supplying the Vietnamese garrisons in the Spratly Islands.
