History
Two of these ships were ordered to Ravestein B.V. shipyard in Deest, Netherlands for civilian use, and were built between 1984 and 1985.[1] The Marine Industries Organization has built the class ingeniously, but all of its products are in commercial use.[1] One was launched in mid-1995 and another in 1997.[1]
