Το ΛΣ090 Γαύδος τύπου Damen Stan Patrol 5509
Με την από 26/01/2022 απόφαση κυρίου Υπουργού Ναυτιλίας και Νησιωτικής Πολιτικής (ΥΝΑΝΠ) (ΑΔΑ: ΨΠΕΖ 4653ΠΩ-ΣΤ1), απορρίφθηκε ως ΜΗ ΣΥΜΦΕΡΟΥΣΑ η προσφορά της εταιρίας "DAMEN SHIPYARDS GORINCHEM BV" για την Εν Συνεχεία Υποστήριξη (Follow On Support) του 58μετρου Πλοίου Ανοιχτής Θαλάσσης ΠΑΘ/ΛΣ - ΕΛΑΚΤ 090 «Γαύδος» τύπου Stan Patrol 5509.
