A contract for the acquisition of 15 high-speed patrol boats, with an option for adding three more at a total cost 33,780,000 euros, was signed on Wednesday by Shipping Minister Yiannis Plakiotakis and respresentatives of the contractor firms "F B Design S.R.L" and "Electronica Marittima S.R.L".
The delivery of the vessels will start in October 2020 and will be completed in the second half of 2023.
