SONG CAM - The Vietnam-based Song Cam shipyard of Dutch shipbuilding giant Damen has launched the first Stan FCS 3307 vessel destined for service with the Ecuadorian Navy. Amidst Ecuador's efforts to stem rising criminal activity in its territorial waters and deter the illegal economic exploitation of its maritime resources by unauthorized external actors and criminal groups alike, the new patrol vessel and broader modernization of the Ecuadorian fleet will service the Navy's ability to surveill, deter and interdict such activities alongside facilitating humanitarian and emergency response efforts when applicable. The new vessel will be christened the LG-43 Isla Santa Clara in Ecuadorian service.
