Private Turkish shipyard Ares has begun mass production of a batch of 122 fast patrol boats for the country’s Coast Guard Command and the General Directorate of Security, the company announced.

This is Turkey’s largest-ever naval program in terms of the number of vessels, and it is part of a contract between Ares and Turkey’s defense procurement office, the Presidency of Defence Industries. The government agency, otherwise known as SSB, would not reveal the contract value, but industry sources estimate it is between $70 million and $80 million.
