Australias presented patrol boats have design defects and friendly relations wit

(Sydney Composite Electric) A number of patrol boats presented by Australia to Pacific countries have design defects and must be repaired urgently.Australia has recently worked hard to establish a good relationship with the Pacific countries, which has caused the relationship between the two parties to fall into a complex situation.

According to the Pacific Maritime Support Program in Australia, the Australian government will provide 22 patrol boats for the Pacific countries to assist their naval rescue operations, prevent illegal fishing and maritime monitoring.Australia has delivered 15 patrol boats to several Pacific countries so far.

The Australian Ministry of Defense: In the past and a half of patrol boats, there have been faults

The Australian Ministry of National Defense issued a statement yesterday that these patrol boats have failed in the past year and a half. The latest problems are in the exhaust system of the boat. Other faults include the joints between the engine and the transmission.There are problems and so on.The Australian Guardian reports that some faults may leak carbon monoxide to the human body to other parts of the hull.

After the Pacific island nation discovers serious defects in patrol ships, it may stop using it, and the subsequent patrol boat delivery may also be affected.

The Australian Ministry of National Defense shows that the Pacific countries must decide whether to continue to use these boats by themselves, but Australia will send personnel to the Pacific countries to evaluate all affected ships and advance temporary remedial measures before obtaining long -term solutions.

Although these problems began to appear last year, the new government in May this May only discovered these problems in the past two weeks and pointed the finger to the government.

Australian Defense Industry Minister and International Development and Pacific Affairs Minister Conlaoy said: "This is the latest example of the previous government in involving the time of national defense projects ... The former Defense Minister Daton said that he was aaring on national security.But left this messy stall to let the new government clean up. "

For Australia, the donated patrol boats have something wrong at this time, and the time is worse.In order to counter China's influence in the Pacific region, Australia has worked hard to strengthen relations with neighboring Pacific in recent months.After the foreign minister Huang Yingxian sworn in at the end of May, he has traveled to the Pacific three times to meet with leaders of various countries.
