Nigerian Navy’s newest Offshore Survey Vessel (NNS LANA) has begun a slow but steady journey to Nigeria.
The vessel which is expected to arrive on 17 May 2021, will make port visits at Lisbon, Las Palmas, Banjul and Tema-Ghana.
Addressing the Ship’s Company, Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Gambo noted that the homebound voyage of NNS LANA is yet another milestone achievement in Nigerian Navy’s fleet recapitalization efforts.
According to him, the foremost desire of every littoral state is to have a fleet with the right mix of platforms to meet its operational objectives.
He noted that the induction of NNS LANA to Nigerian Navy will enhance the Service capacity in the provision of survey services and charting which are crucial to safe navigation for improved maritime security.
