The USCG will deliver or install around $7 million of new equipment and $5 million-worth of technical and training services, all paid for by Bangladesh.A 20-member team from the Bangladesh Navy, led by commanding officer Capt Mohammad Waseem Maqsood, arrived in March in preparation to receive the Rush. Around 70 additional crew members will arrive on May 20, according to the USCG.Former Rush crewmembers will also serve as advisors and assist the Bangladeshi crew until the ship makes its voyage across the Pacific later this year. BNS Somudra Avijan will join former USCG cutter Jarvis, which was commissioned in the Bangladesh Navy as BNS Somudro Joy (F-28) in 2013.Transferring the legacy vessels is seen as a way of avoiding high disposal costs, approximately $12 million per ship, as well as a way of building and sustaining maritime partnerships in support of the Coast Guard’s national maritime strategy.To date, under the EDA programme the USCG has transferred two high endurance cutters to the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150924101250/http://www.shephardmedia.com/news/imps-news/philippines-advances-frigate-project/">Philippine navy</a>, two to the Nigerian navy and, with the transfer of cutter Rush, two to the Bangladeshi navy.The high-endurance cutters are currently being replaced by the USCG’s new 418ft National Security Cutters (NSC). Earlier this month, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150924101250/http://www.shephardmedia.com/news/imps-news/ingalls-us-nsc-james-completes-acceptance-trials/">the fifth NSC to be built by Huntington Ingalls</a>, James (WMSL 754), successfully completed her acceptance trials.[URL unfurl="true"]https://web.archive.org/web/20150924101250/http://www.shephardmedia.com/news/imps-news/imdex-2015-second-us-coast-guard-cutter-bangladesh/[/URL]Saludos</blockquote>
