The delivery ceremony of the MPCS (Multipurpose Combat Ship) KRI PRABU SILIWANGI-321 vessel to the Indonesian Navy was held today at our Muggiano shipyard. To underscore the strong defense collaboration between the two nations, the ceremony was attended by the Chief of the Indonesian Navy, Admiral Muhammad Ali, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Indonesia to the Republic of Italy, H.E. Prof. DR. Junimart Girsang, our CEO, Pierroberto Folgiero, our General Manager of the Naval Vessels Division, Eugenio Santagata and the Chief of the Italian Navy, Admiral Giuseppe Berutti Bergotto.
With an overall length of 143 meters, this highly versatile class of ship, designed to perform a wide range of missions, including frontline combat operations, maritime patrol, rescue, and civil protection activities, represent a strategic element for the stability of the Asian region and the protection of Indonesian national interests.
The delivery of this unit – which follows that of its sister, KRI BRAWIJAYA-320, delivered last July, completing the supply of the two vessels built by our Group that will form the Indonesian Navy’s largest combat units, as well as the most technologically advanced units in the Indo-Pacific – further consolidates our partnership with the Indonesian Ministry of Defense confirming our commitment to a safer future and safer seas.
