    Uruguayan Senator calls for Cardama deal for new Ocean Patrol Vessels to be dropped

    Cardama's ability or apparent lack thereof to fulfil the contract would corroborate Rear Admiral Musso's assessment that the Uruguayan government chose to ignore

    Broad Front (Frente Amplio - FA) Senator Sandra Lazo insisted Friday that Uruguay should backtrack on its decision to purchase two newly-built Ocean Patrol Vessels (OPVs) from Spanish shipyard Cardama, a company at risk of bankruptcy that has not yet commenced building the units ordered in mid-2023. The Spanish shipyard is still unable to obtain the collaterals required by the contract with the Uruguayan authorities.
