Thanks to the high level of a fruitful cooperation and to the expertise and skills acquired by Alexandria Shipyard, the first Gowind built in Egypt and named Port Said was delivered in January 2021. The two corvettes are currently successfully in service with the Egyptian Navy. The third Gowind, El Moez, was launched in May 2019 and will be delivered in the coming weeks.
