DSA 2018: Damen positions Enforcer 10000 LDP for Malaysian multirole ship requirement


Jon Grevatt, Kuala Lumpur - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly

Netherlands shipbuilder Damen is positioning its Enforcer 10000 landing platform dock (LPD) to meet an anticipated requirement in the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) for multirole support ships (MRSS).

Gysbert Boersma, Damen’s sales director for Malaysia and Indonesia, told Jane’s that the company is currently in talks with both the RMN and local industry in support of the bid.

However, he also conceded that the MRSS programme is unlikely to start in the near term, given the general election in Malaysia in 2018 and the lack of funding that the procurement has so far secured from the country’s national defence budget.
