STM to Build 3 Corvettes for Royal Malaysian Navy!
STM Savunma Teknolojileri Mühendislik ve Ticaret A.Ş., Türkiye’s leading company in the naval field, has added a further achievement to its past successes in the international arena. The Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) has selected STM for the procurement of three warships under the LMS Batch-2 programme.
The ceremony for the “Littoral Mission Ship Batch-2” project was hosted at the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye on the 10th June in Ankara. The ceremony was attended by Mohamed Khaled NORDIN, the Minister of Defence of Malaysia; Prof. Dr. Haluk GÖRGÜN, the President at the Secretariat of Defence Industries, the Secretariat of Defence Industries, Prof. Dr. İhsan Kaya, STM Chairman of the Board; and Özgür GÜLERYÜZ, STM General Manager, representatives of the Malaysian Ministry of Defense as well as other Turkish defence industry company executives and distinguished guest.
GÖRGÜN: “The LMS Batch 2 Project is Just the Beginning”
Speaking at the ceremony, Prof. Dr. Haluk GÖRGÜN, President of the SSB, said:
As you might be aware, the LMS Batch 2 Project has catalyzed the signing of the “Memorandum of Understanding on G2G Procurement for Defense Products” between Türkiye and Malaysia. I firmly believe that the LMS Batch 2 Project is just the beginning of a long-term cooperation on naval platforms between our two nations. The successful execution of this project will undoubtedly position Turkish defense industry companies as indispensable partners in the Royal Malaysian Navy’s ‘15 to 5 Transformation Program’ thereby strengthening our defense capabilities and fortifying our mutual interests. STM, as the main contractor, will be responsible for all phases of the Littoral Mission Ship Project for the Royal Malaysian Navy, from design and construction to delivery. I would like to extend my gratitude to the STM Management and their team for their dedication to this project."
The Malaysian Minister of Defence, Mohamed Khaled NORDIN made the following statements in his speech: “I believe that the signing of this MoU will bring benefit to both countries, especially to Malaysia, because the Republic of Turkiye is a sophisticated military powerhouse today, with excellent defence technology, and is one of the most advanced military manufacturing nations in West Asia.
It is a very historical moment because on today's occasion, we will be witnessing the handing over ceremony of the Letter of Acceptance of our Littoral Mission Ship (LMS), Batch 2, with STM. Congratulations to STM. We will be purchasing three LMS on this occasion. So, when we sign that MoU today, we will give you the LOA for the purchase of the LMS. So that is why it is also a very historic moment, because the letter of acceptance means that today we will start to build, by Türkiye, by STM, our three LMS. I wish all the best to all parties, to SSB, to STM.”
Özgür GÜLERYÜZ: ''We share our experience and technology with friendly countries''
Delivering the opening speech of the program, Özgür GÜLERYÜZ, General Manager of STM, stated that STM had been meeting the needs of security forces, especially the Turkish Armed Forces, with national and innovative systems for more than 33 years, and added: “As we continue on the path we set out on for the defense of our country, we are today transferring our engineering experience and technologies to friendly and brotherly countries. Building on our success in the modernization of surface platforms and submarines for the Pakistan Navy, we are currently advancing the construction of two corvettes for Ukraine under STM’s leadership as the main contractor.
GÜLERYÜZ: "Construction of the ships will start this year and will be completed in 3.5 years"
GÜLERYÜZ said that STM was proud to be signing the agreement, which will add strength to the Malaysian Navy, and continued: “We are committing to the construction of three ships for the Royal Malaysian Navy. The vessels will be based on the ADA-Class design, which has already demonstrated its reliability and effectiveness in international waters. The construction of these ships will commence this year, and we aim to deliver all three ships to the Royal Malaysian Navy within 3.5 years. Under the government-to-government (G2G) agreement, STM will be the main contractor responsible for all phases of the project, from design to performance, and from construction to delivery.
Corvettes Will Have Modern Weapon Systems
The construction and outfitting of the ships will take place in Türkiye, involving substantial collaborations with various companies from the Turkish defence sector. The ships, under the main contractorship of STM, will be integrated with the leading-edge systems produced by some 50 companies, including such prominent names as ASELSAN, HAVELSAN and ROKETSAN. The Malaysian Corvettes will be outfitted with advanced weapon systems, sensors, and command and control systems, allowing the RMN to perform a wide range of missions effectively
