CORFU. Belharra is the name given by the French shipbuilding group Naval Group to the Defence and Intervention Frigates (FDI) built for foreign markets.

The French Navy ship, which is visiting the island, is docked at the windward pier at Corfu Port.

It is the same class of vessel as the three recently purchased by the Hellenic Navy.
