Fincantieri delivers multi-role combat ship to Indonesian Navy
Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri has delivered a multi-purpose combat ship (MPCS) – KRI Brawijaya-320 – to the Indonesian Navy during a ceremony held at its facility at Muggiano, La Spezia, Italy.
The platform was handed over on July 2, 2025 during the event which was attended by Admiral Muhammad Ali, Chief of the Indonesian Navy and Admiral Enrico Credendino, Chief of the Italian Navy along with other senior officials.
KRI Brawijaya-320, built and delivered by Fincantieri in a very short time to the Indonesian Navy, is the first of two MPCS/PPA units and, together with its sister vessel, the KRI Prabu Siliwangi-321, represents an important milestone in the development of the strategic partnership between Fincantieri and the Indonesian Ministry of Defence, noted the shipbuilder in an official statement.
The highly versatile platforms are designed to perform a wide range of missions, including frontline combat operations, maritime patrol, rescue, and civil protection activities. The vessels are also capable of operating high-speed boats.
The vessels will represent the largest combat ships in the Indonesian Navy, strengthening stability in the Indo-Pacific region and safeguarding Indonesia’s national interests, the statement added.
