The new Al Zubarah-class corvettes have a
length of 107 meters and a beam of 14.7 meters and a combined diesel and
diesel plant (CODAD) configured propulsion system. They will be capable of
reaching a top speed of 28 knots with 112 crew on board.
The corvettes can operate high-speed boats
like rigid hull inflatable boats (RHIBs) via lateral cranes or a hauling ramp
located at the far stern. The flight deck and hangar are designed to
accommodate one NH90 helicopter.
Fincantieri delivered the first Al
Zubarah-class corvette to Qatar in October 2021.
