The Colombian Navy is in a phase of modernisation. Several advanced patrol craft are on the drawing board, but its main sea-going frigates are aging. As a stopgap, Colombia has accepted transfer of a 27-year old South Korean Corvette.
Long exposure of Exocet missile canisters to tropical conditions has caused a spectacular explosion in the Ammunition Dump in Cartagena. For the time being, all Exocets have been de-certified and French technicians are working on them.
Venezuela's navy has similar worries. Its Lupo-class frigates have been in service for 30 years and are spending long periods in maintenance. New Spanish-built OPVs and Corvettes have joined the fleet, but funding shortages made them prepared for, but not carrying, advanced SSMs and SAM-systems.
