The new 63 metre long vessel is a cutting edge trimaran
design that it cosidered to be the most advanced naval vessel of its type ever
built in South East Asia. It incorporates a radical wave piercing hull form for
improved seaworthiness and stability, and has been built from full carbon fibre
composite materials, utilising the vacuum infusion process and vinylester
resin. This method results in a structure that has increased strength, but also
offers the benefits of lower operating, maintenance, and lifecycle costs.
In 2009 PT Lundin signed a contract to build a one of the
most advanced “stealth” warship for TNI-AL (Indonesian Navy). This was the
result of an intensive Research and Development programme conducted by PT
Lundin Industry Invest (North Sea Boats) and TNI-AL that commenced in 2007.
Construction commenced in early 2010, but due to the advanced design and
construction methods, the project has been kept largely confidential until now.
Members of the press are invited to attend this significant
event. The launching ceremony will be held on Friday 31st August, 2012 at PT
Lundin’s shipyard facility in Banuwangi, East Java. The ceremony will be
attended by dignitaries and senior officers of TNI-AL during which a briefing
and Press Conference and interviews will be conducted.
