-US to help with maintenance of coast guard vessels
President Irfaan Ali said that the GDFS Shahoud, which was commissioned yesterday, will bolster surveillance of Guyana’s waters and offer security for the country’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
A release from the Office of the President said that the army’s latest patrol vessel was named in honour of Colonel Michael Shahoud who perished in a helicopter crash last December.
President Ali said that naming the vessel in honour of the late Colonel was fitting, since the task of the vessel embodies his valour, dedication and unwavering service.
