Swiftships wins $14.5m Iraq Navy contract

BAGHDAD, October 23, 2016

US-based Swiftships has won a $14.59 million fixed price contract covering continuous lifecycle support for the Iraqi Navy.

The US Naval Sea Systems Command is the contracting entity.

Swiftships specialises in the construction of small to medium-sized watercraft built of steel, aluminum, and fiberglass. It also offers turn-key solutions for its clients. Swiftships has received several contracts in recent years to provide ships and maintenance to the Iraqi navy.

The firm based in Louisiana will provide technical expertise in preventative and planned maintenance, emergent repairs, and platform overhaul support services for Iraqi patrol boats, off-shore vessels, and defender boats.

The work, to be performed at Umm Qasr Naval Base in Iraq, is expected to be completed by March 2017.
