China isn't offering latest Type 39C, they don't have enough for their own fleet and certainly BD can't afford that. I would be surprised if we can place order for two Type 39B or Jang/Chang Bogo (Type 209) now.

I mean, even two Type39B would cost around a billion $.
China is the preferred option for our already existing logistical set up, and financially they can offer LoC if we were to make such big purchase.
Also, geopolitically Chinese Subs for BN will maintain the balance w.r.t India.

It is hard to compare submarines, in my opinion. It is always better to follow what your sailors have been trained with and putting it to most efficient state as quick as possible. With a whole new echole of design you would need a decade in to master the submarine.
Set a doctrine, a road-map and choose a design accordingly.
@Bluetooth Here is a 2009 graph from USA office of naval intelligence that compares noise reduction levels of both nuclear and conventional Sino-Russian boats.The early Yuan was not as stealthy as an improved kilo but was stealthy enough in Russian SSN standards (akula 2 in 2010 was pretty capable) .
Coming back to 2024, 15 years is a very long time and most definitely the b and c version are more improved than their predecessors.My guess is the latest Yuan is comparable or better than the improved kilo i/ii class.The c version also has towed array sonar along with new stealthier features aimed to counter active sonar detection.
Now this is likely not as quiet as the latest western boats on offer but should compare well with the ones widely used.So imho the latest Yuan is not quiet as western boats but it is quiet enough to be very hard to detect.

Dockyard and Engineering Works Limited (DEW) singed a Joint Venture Agreement with RFL Group on 03.06.2024. This agreement will facilitate both organisation in conducting market research, planning, sourcing, design and procurement of materials/machinery for construction of various types of GRP/FRP/Carbon Fibre boats.
These boats will be built in DEW for local as well as international customers. Through this collaboration, we aim to leverage our collective strengths to deliver innovative solutions and expand our presence in local and global market. This strategic partnership marks a significant milestone for our organization combining expertise and experience in shipbuilding and maritime services.

I expected Damen, Robert Allan, DEW or Turkey would get the contract.
The overall length (LOA) of the tug will be nearly 61 metres, and the vessel will be about 15.80 metres wide with a depth nearly 6.80 metres. The tug's draught requirement with a full load will be around 4.80 metres while it's bollard pull capacity will be 76 Tons ahead and 50 Tons astern. The ship's maximum speed with a full load will be at least 13 knots.
The tug's primary roles will include towing of ships at sea, both alongside and astern, assist them during berthing and casting off as well as help them in turning through pushing and pulling. The vessel will also have the capability to carry out rescue and salvage operations at sea. It's secondary roles will be to provide firefighting support to ships at sea and limited pollution control measures.
The platform will be extremely robust with a capability to operate even at sea state 5 (wind speeds of 17-21 knots and wave heights of 2-3 metres) with dynamic positioning - 2 system capability. This is an advanced computer-controlled system that allows a ship to maintain its heading and position without the use of mooring lines or anchors.
