The Al-Ofouq-class are 4 patrol vessels of Royal Navy of Oman as replacements for the Province-class fast attack craft patrol vessels.
Following a competitive international tender in April 2012, ST Marine of Singapore won the USD703 million contract from the Omani Defence Ministry, beating off Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding and India's Goa Shipyard. The Al-Ofouq-class is based on the 75m variant of the 55m Fearless-class patrol vessel currently used by the Republic of Singapore Navy.
