According to new information, this new-class cutter for the CCG has just been launched at Huangpu-Wenchong.
What's more: This 1500-2000-ton cutter likely features not just
16V270 diesel engines in CODAD propulsion system, but also
pump-jets (similar to the ones on the Hai Kuai #1). There is also likely the
export version of the SR2402C radar being mounted on the top mast.
The post-launch photos of the cutter should appear soon.

In the meantime, here's hoping that Hai Kuai #1 will get retrofitted for CCG use in the future as well, instead of just being left moored at Huangpu-Wenchong for many years to come/scrapped.
