The Proyecto Patrulleros de Zona Marítima or PZM are a series of offshore patrol vessels being built for the Chilean Navy, Argentine Navy and Colombian Navy.

History

The design of the PZM was developed by Fassmer GmbH & Co. KG, a Germany company to meet the Chilean Navy's requirements under the Danubio IV project. The contract for ASMAR to build the PZMs was signed in May 20 2005, with Northrop Grumman, Sisdef (a consortium of BAE Systems and shipbuilder ASMAR (Chilean Navy)) and Rohde & Schwarz participating as main subcontractors at a cost of USD$54 million to be commissioned by 2012. The vessels will be operated by the Coast Guard Service of the Chilean Navy and they will conduct patrol missions in Chile’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The design of the Proyecto Patrulleros de Zona Marítima is being promoted by Chile as a common platform for South American Navies through the Proyecto Patrullero de Alta Mar Regional or Regional Offshore Patrol Vessel committee.

Argentina have ordered up to five PZM[4] at a cost of USD$120 million as part of its own Patrulleros de Alta Mar (PAM) programme to be constructed at its Astillero Rio Santiago yard. Colombian have ordered two vessel[5] to be built at its Cartagena de COTECMAR shipyard by 2012.
