“If we accept the CHD602 engine, the CSOC must offer a guaranteed time which is longer than usual. … Second, the company must support us in terms of engine maintenance, parts and technicians. We have to agree on this in the future,” Choengchai said, referring to the state-owned developer China Shipbuilding & Offshore International Co. Ltd.
“They have been installed in many of China’s surface ships, including on aircraft carriers. They will tweak the CHD620 engine to fit into the Thai navy sub, Pakistani navy and the Chinese navy in the future,” he said. “Germany would not let them use its engine.”
The Chinese Navy would have until June to guarantee the modified ship engine’s safety, said Thai Navy Commander Adm. Choengchai Chomchoengpaet following talks in Beijing in mid-April.

“We have three conditions to consider – the engine must be safe. Second, the Chinese navy must guarantee this engine for the Thai navy. And third, there must be compensation for the delay due to the engine change,” Choengchai said at an event in Chon Buri province on Tuesday.
When you already get to this point, I think this go forth. I always thought it would end up going through. just RTN wasn't in a rush, so could wait to get better deal offered by CSOC
