A series of international media reports – including the French daily Le Monde, the International Business Times, Les Echos and La Tribune – have long put Singapore on the short list of potential buyers, along with Egypt, India and Canada of French-built Mistral-class helicopter carriers. The Mistrals could potentially sell for C$1.2-billion to C$1.6-billion, according to published reports overseas. The ship is capable of carrying 16 helicopters, 59 armoured vehicles, and more than 450 troops.
