Damen Shipyards Group has been selected to partner with Colombia's state-owned COTECMAR (Corporación de Ciencia y Tecnología para el Desarrollo de la Industria Naval Marítima y Fluvial) shipyard to design a new generation of multirole frigates for the Colombian Navy.

A contract for co-development of the contractual design for the new Plataforma Estratégica de Superficie (PES) was signed on 27 September onboard the frigate ARC Almirante Padilla at the Naval Base ARC Bolivar in Cartagena. No additional details of the contract terms were disclosed, but it was revealed that the PES design will be an adaptation of Damen's proven SIGMA 10514 baseline previously built in-country for Indonesia and Mexico.

The PES programme calls for the local construction of up to five frigates to replace the Colombian Navy's four ageing FS 1500 Almirante Padilla-class frigates, and its two former Republic of Korea Navy corvettes ARC Nariño (ex-ROKS Donghae ) and ARC Almirante Tono (ex-ROKS Pohang
