In an effort to control smuggling, drug trafficking and illegal fishing in our country, Taiwan's Ministry of Finance formulated and approved of the Directorate General of Customs to build four 600 ton high-speed patrol vessels. Ching Fu quickly realized that only the best design in the world could adequately realize this project. Thus, Ching Fu formed an alliance with the world renowned German Shipbuilding Company, Lurssen.

The resulting 600 Ton patrol vessels were developed from Lurssen's FDB62 and CM 65 designs. These ships are not only registered by China Registry but also comply with Lloyd's Classification Society SSC (Special Service Craft) rules.

In order to fully assess the capability of this vessel's design and test its lines, a tank test was done in England's Royal Navy Tank. These vessels were also built using an imported thin plate welding technology. Due to the extremely precise quality control exercised throughout the entire shipbuilding process, during sea trial these patrol vessels were able to reach the speed of 31 knots. These vessels were recorded in the prestigious world's navies reference manual, Jane's Fighting Ships. This newest achievement demonstrates how Ching Fu Shipbuilding has once again successfully entered a brand new shipbuilding market.
