Past event: Warships and Offshore Patrol Vessels Latin America 2017 Conference

We were delighted to be hosted by the Peruvian Navy in 2016, who are committed to a major fleet modernization program: in total, they will procure six frigates and four offshore patrol vessels as well as undertake significant modernization of the legacy fleet.

The Peruvian procurement is indicative of a trend in the Latin American market towards larger vessel acquisition in addition to smaller OPVs.

Attracting acquisition, capability development, R&D, engineering and operational Naval staff from across the continent, this annual conference has established itself as the surface fleet community event. Each year we discuss the region's most pressing issues in vessel design, procurement and operational capability. We are proud to build on our experiences hosting the conference in Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador to ensure that this conference stays at the forefront of the Latin American surface fleet community.
