Molab order 2 more Pentekonter-MEs

Molab has ordered 2 more Pentekonter-ME/105 minesweepers. These will join the 6 they already operate on behalf of the Free Eritran States. Unlike the earlier ships which were jointly funded it is thought Molab are buying these extra ships on their own.

As part of the order all ships will receive equipment and software updates to bring them up to the same standard as NS's own Pentekonter 044Ms.
