Oficialmente no se ha hecho el anuncio del costo, pero previamente cuando estaba en anteproyecto, tenia un costo de 350-355 mdd, por cierto al parecer no es una Sigma 10513, sino una Sigma 10514 y ya se firmo el contrato en Holanda, se construirá con asistencia Holandesa en Salina Cruz Oaxaca(Astimar 20) y se estará botando en 2020, mencionan que aun que será similar al modelo adquirido por Indonesia, tendrá una configuración diferente en cuanto a armamento, no sabemos la configuración de armamento aun, anexo una nota emanada desde Holanda de la firma del contrato y un video de la firma del contrato:

According to the tradition ushered Thursday once (for one ship) the big bell in the hall of the Kremlin (the headquarters nickname). Still is thus celebrated every new job in the yard. Dozens of employees proudly raised the glass.
The new ship is 105 meters long and 14 meters wide. ,, It is similar in size to the frigates we built for Indonesia and build '' says director Hein van Ameijden of Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding. However ,, with other weapons and other functions. Because this ship will be used for long-range patrols. ''
It is built on the Mexican naval base in Salina Cruz. This is done under the guidance of staff of the Vlissingen yard. ,, There is now a team of us in Mexico, '' said Van Ameijden. ,, We hope that this project goes well and there are more jobs. ''
Little ones
Although Damen Schelde for the first time they build a ship for Mexico, it is the twelfth project for parent company Damen Shipyards. ,, Damen has been building since 2011 patrol boats for Mexico, but that his children. ''
The ship should be ready in 2020, though it is already water in 2018.
For Damen Schelde is following orders from Angola and Australia, another important order.
With good prospects for more. ,, But let us first have equally good for getting together this boat. ''
export orders
Because it takes at least a few years before the site regains orders from the Dutch navy. Until then, the Scheldt should have mainly export commands. From Ameijden: ,, Since 2014 we run 100 percent on export orders. If success continues, we keep it for a while vol. That is not to say that we are very anxious to look for new naval missions. ''
From Ameijden stressed that talks on forming a new government "of paramount belang'zijn for the Flushing yard. ,, If there is not really true a substantial budget increase for Defense, I do not see how the new government can realize the replacement projects (including new frigates-ed.). That would primarily be very bad news for the Dutch navy. We keep fingers crossed that it ends well. The views of Damen in this are sufficiently known to the negotiators of the parties. ''
la realidad es que de quererse, México bien podría comprar esas 5 BAMs y tal vez 2 Fragatas nuevas, la cuestión es ¿como para qué?
