The submarines “Pipinos”, “Matrozos”, “Katsonis” and “Oceanos” have completed most of their planned operational tests, but due to the court cases of the investor with the Scaramanga Shipyards, another three-month extension needs to be given until June. in order to complete their upgrade program and the employees do not feel that they are in the “air”.
This was stated by the Minister of National Defense Nikos Panagiotopoulos, supporting the relevant amendment that has been submitted to the bill of the Ministry of Health that is being discussed in the Plenary Session.
The Minister of National Defense stated that “we thought that the previous three-month extension of the program given to support the upgrade project of the four 214 submarines of our Navy would be enough, as we speculated that because the investor had been found – through the tender process – the pending issues would have been completed in order to proceed with its investment penetration in the shipyards.
However, there are still some legal issues and in order not to worry the employees, we are proceeding with a new three-month contract between the employees and the Navy. Thus, an extension is provided until the end of June and a credit of up to 10,300,000 euros is available, which concerns the coverage of the salaries and the insurance contributions of the employees, the coverage of the operating expenses of the yard and materials for the completion of the program “.
