The Indonesian Navy received its second Perusak Kawal Rudal (PKR)
guided-missile frigate KRI I Gusti Ngurah Rai during a ceremony in Surabaya,
Indonesia, on October 30.
Named after the Indonesian War of Independence hero who fought
against the Dutch between 1945 and 1949, KRI I Gusti Ngurah Rai is the second
of two frigates built by Indonesian shipbuilder PT Pal and Dutch shipbuilder
Damen through a transfer of technology agreement.
Based on Damen’s Sigma 10514 design, the vessels are built using a
collaborative modular process operating simultaneously at Damen Schelde Naval
Shipbuilding (DSNS) in the Netherlands and PT PAL shipyard in Indonesia.
Each is made up of six modules, and for the first vessel four of
these were built at PT PAL. The other two were built and fully tested at DSNS
in the Netherlands before being shipped for final assembly at PT PAL.
The 105-metre, 2,365 tonne PKR frigates are designed to undertake a
range of missions in and around the waters of Indonesia. Their primary mission
is anti-air, anti-surface and anti-submarine warfare. However, they are also
equipped for maritime security, search and rescue, and humanitarian support
tasks.
The propulsion system of the 105-meter PKR vessel utilises a
combined diesel or electric (CODOE) which consists of two 10,000kW maximum
continuous rating (MCR) diesel engines, two 1,300kW electric motors, two double
input gearboxes and two 3.65 metre controllable pitch propellers. The vessel
will be equipped with a sensor and weapon package to counter air, surface and
sub-surface threats. It also carries two rigid hull inflatable boats (RHIBs)
for rescue and patrol operations.
