According to pictures taken by Chinese spotters, Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding, a wholly owned subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC, the largest shipbuilding group in China) started sea trials of the first C28A Corvette on order for the Algerian Navy. Algeria signed a contract with China Shipbuilding Trading Co (CSTC) for construction of three C28A corvettes in March 2012.

tells me the Corvette for Algeria, hull #920:
  • began sea-trials in mid-July

  • should have been delivered to the Navy of Algeria after 38 months since the contract had been signed, which would have happened in May of this year if there had been no delay
That source also says after #920 the two follow-up ships (#921, #922) should be delivered in six-months intervals, and shows them in the picture dated April 4:
