Mexico commissions its first POLA and an OPV

Alejandro Sanchez, Washington, DC - Jane's Defence Weekly
28 November 2018

In one of his final acts as head of state, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto on 23 November commissioned Reformador (101), the Mexican Navy's new long-range patrol vessel (Patrulla Oceánica de Largo Alcance: POLA), and the offshore patrol vessel (OPV) ARM Jalisco (PO-167).

Reformador is based on Damen's SIGMA 10514 frigate and it is the first of an order for as many as eight vessels that could be constructed jointly by the Mexican state-run shipyard ASTIMAR and Damen shipyards. The vessel has a length of 107 m, a maximum speed of 27 kt, and can operate at sea for up to 20 days.

Mexican Navy’s POLA-class ARM Reformador aces sea trials

Mexican Navy’s POLA-class ARM Reformador, the Mexican equivalent of Damen’s SIGMA Frigate 10514, has completed sea trials, Dutch shipbuilding group Damen said.

The program of sea trials included testing of platform and combat systems in addition to training of Mexican Navy crews.

Damen said that the completion of these sea trials indicates how the project as a whole is progressing: on budget and actually a few weeks ahead of the contracted schedule.

ARM Reformador started modular construction in August 2017 following a contract signing between Mexico and Dutch shipbuilder Damen. The OPV was built in six modules, two at Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding (DSNS) in Vlissingen, the Netherlands, and four in Mexico.

Reformador will carry Harpoon Block II anti-ship missiles, Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) surface-to-air missiles, MK 54 Mod 0 lightweight torpedoes and an 8-cell MK56 VLS launcher along with Evolved Seasparrow Missiles (ESSM). The vessel will also be equipped with Indra’s RIGEL electronic defense system which will provide simultaneous jamming and deception countermeasures for multiple active threats in addition to detecting and analyzing radar signals in the vessel’s mission environment.

Damen has built up a strong relationship with the Mexican Navy over the last decade. This has resulted in the construction and delivery of more than ten naval vessels of various designs. Damen has also worked closely with yards like the ASTIMAR 20 naval shipyard in Salina Cruz, Mexico, where the ARM Reformador has been built.

“This project is having a very positive impact on the local economy. More than 70% of the labour is being realised in Mexico – creating jobs and enabling local companies to develop their skills,” notes Horacio Delgado, Damen’s commercial manager for Mexico. “Thanks to our excellent cooperation with the Mexican Navy, we are ensuring that this vessel is being built in Mexico, by Mexicans, and for Mexicans.”

Navio-escola da Marinha do México colide contra a Ponte de Brooklin, em Nova Iorque.

277 pessoas estavam à bordo do ARM Cuauhtémoc (BE01).

Até o momento, 2 mortos e 22 feridos, metade dos feridos em estado crítico. Segundo informações iniciais, todas as vítimas estavam na embarcação.

O navio, usado na formação de cadetes navais, estava manobrando para desatracar. Houve um apagão e a máquina ficou travada à ré, fazendo o navio ir na direção contrária planejada.

Um rebocador, que pode ser visto ao lado no início do vídeo, não estava com cabo passado e por isso não foi capaz de ajudar.
