There are rumours that the contractual process for 2 Scorpene EVO that should effective early this year, has been delayed. Rumours seems related to Hanhwa Ocean lobby on continues DSME 1400 2nd Batch. The rumours stating that Hanhwa Ocean willing to build all 2nd batch in PAL facility faster then NG offer timeline for 2 Scorpene EVO with much lower cost.
Also it is related to potential legal penalty that Hanhwa Ocean will take if PAL and MinDef doesn't execute 2nd Batch. MinDef also wants total package to refurbished 1st Batch that being consider less effective operationaly as being design.
Need to find out more, but seems it is also shown Hanhwa Ocean do lobby hard behind doors. Problem is legally they already have effective contract, while NG still in MOU stage.
