Thailand said Tuesday that it would consider a Chinese-made engine as an alternative for the submarine it had purchased if it met the specifications, following China’s inability to obtain engines from Germany.

The Royal Thai Navy (RTN) is evaluating the specifications of the upgraded CHD620 engine supplied by China Shipbuilding & Offshore International Co. (CSOC), RTN’s spokesperson Pokkrong Monthatphalin said.
