The new LMS is contracted by Wuchang Shipbuilding Industry Group under China Shipbuilding Industry Co. and is being built at its Shuangliu base in Wuhan, a company announcement said on Tuesday quoted by Chinamil.
The first LMS ship China made for Malaysia entered the building phase on July 31 this year.
