As part of the cooperation between the Italian Navy and the Algerian Navy was developed a training cycle of about two years for the crew of the future flagship of the Algerian fleet, an Amphibious Ship type BDSL"Batiment et de Débarquement de Soutien Logistics" commissioned from Horizons Sistemi Navali (OSN).
The Algerian Ship, derived from the class San Giusto, Italian amphibious units, will have a displacement of 9,000 tons, a length of 143 meters and will be launched next December at the Riva Trigoso of Genoa, with the name of Kalaat Beni-Abbes.
The Algerian crew training will be conducted entirely in Italian and will follow a process of increasing difficulty. A total of 191 will be the military men and women, some already arrived at the Naval Air Training Center Taranto (Maricentadd), who attend operational courses until May 2014.
Then, after a period of preparation on the job training at the venue set-up and testing new ships of La Spezia (Marinalles), the cycle will end again in Taranto in the first months of 2015 after the internship naval Maricentadd who submit the Ship and his crew.
This project is very complex, innovative and unprecedented, it required careful and meticulous planning and cooperation between the Navy and the Private Industry.
Such synergy in training foreign marine is a valuable resource because the addition of a "package training aspects" makes the provision of construction of new ships much more palatable and provides a positive image of the "system", thus greatly enhancing the competitiveness of the shipbuilding national.
Such cooperation has already produced its effects benefit the Italian, since Algeria has recently expressed its intention to buy even the minesweepers.
