The two boats, named “Namiliti” and “Umbeluzi,” two Mozambican names are new and will continue the tasks that the Mozambican navy has been carrying out.
The boats have autonomy of 72 hours at sea and can operate up to 50 miles from the coast.
The boats were built “on the basis of the real situation” of the country, the Mozambican defence minister added.
The two governments also signed a memorandum on hydrography and information sharing between the two states.
Atanásio M’tumuke said the two boats would help combat smuggling, arms trafficking, terrorism and maritime piracy.
