Spanish shipbuilder Navantia and Saudi Arabia's General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) covering the design and construction of additional combat ships for the Royal Saudi Naval Forces (RSNF) on 30 November.

Both organisations released statements describing the new vessels as multimission combat ships. While GAMI did not give a number, the Spanish version of Navantia's release said the MOU would result in a contract being awarded in 2023 to build five ships.

Navantia is building five Al-Jubail-class corvettes for the RSNF based on its Avante 2200 design, the third of which is scheduled to be handed over on 4 December.

GAMI said Navantia had agreed to localise up to 100% of shipbuilding, maintenance, and combat systems integration in line with Saudi Arabia's policy of localising 50% of its defence spending by 2030.
