This is the latest frigate of the Indonesian Navy. It is made domestically, based on the Arrowhead 140 design.

Indonesia has recently been spending a considerable amount of its money to purchase new warships, both from abroad and from the domestic shipbuilding industry. In addition, Indonesia is also making large-scale purchases of new fighter jet aircraft.

This is in response to the increasing tensions in the South China Sea region, as Chinese fishermen are often suspected of engaging in illegal fishing in Indonesia's EEZ, escorted by ocean-going vessels from the Chinese coast guard.

Indonesian Navy PPAs Christened at Fincantieri Muggiano

The renaming ceremony of the two MPCS (Multipurpose Combat Ship/PPA) vessels sold to the Indonesian Navy was held today at Fincantieri’s shipyard in Muggiano (La Spezia). These ships are part of the contract signed by the Group in 2024, valued at approximately 1.18 billion euros.

The ceremony was attended by, among others, Biagio Mazzotta, Chairman of Fincantieri; Dario Deste, General Manager of Fincantieri’s Naval Vessels Division; Admiral Muhammad Ali, Chief of The Indonesian Navy, and Admiral Giuseppe Berutti Bergotto, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Italian Navy. Their presence underscored the strong defense collaboration between the two nations.

Originally built as the fifth and sixth units for the Italian Navy, the two ships, formerly named “Marcantonio Colonna” and “Ruggiero di Lauria,” have now been renamed KRI BRAWIJAYA-320 and KRI PRABU SILIWANGI-321.

This supply contract stems from the interest generated during the campaigns of the MPCS/PPA vessels “Francesco Morosini” and “Raimondo Montecuccoli” in Indonesia in 2023 and 2024, respectively. It marks a significant milestone in the strategic partnership between Fincantieri and the Indonesian Ministry of Defense. Built at Fincantieri’s integrated Riva Trigoso-Muggiano shipyard, these vessels will be the largest combat ships in the Indonesian Navy, strengthening stability in the Indo-Pacific region and safeguarding Indonesia’s national interests.

The MPCS/PPA is a highly versatile class of ship designed to perform a wide range of missions, including frontline combat operations, maritime patrol, rescue, and civil protection activities.

The two ships are scheduled for delivery to the Indonesian Navy in 2025.
