Riding high on recent successes in the international arena and eager to further increase its presence internationally, Türkiye’s Dearsan Shipyard is showcasing a wide range of capabilities at the upcoming ADEX-2024.
The Istanbul-based company, which has the ability to build 9 ships of various types at the same time, specializes in the design and construction of private military ships and the integration of weapon systems. With militaries globally looking to increase their naval might in the light of geopolitical tensions, the company senses a major opportunity to increase its market share.
In November last year, the shipyard signed a contract with the Kazakhstan government for investment in a shipyard and shipbuilding activities. In March this year, the company signed a contract with the Qatar Emiri Naval Force (QENF) for the design, building and delivery of two 50 metres Fast Attack Craft (FAC). The following month, the company launched the second 76-meter Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) for the Nigerian Navy; the first one was launched in October last year.
According to company officials, Dearsan has been steadily expanding its global footprint, thanks to the quality of its vessels and competitive pricing. The FAC for the Qatar Emiri Naval Force (QENF) will be capable of undertaking asymmetric warfare, territorial waters protection, antipiracy, reconnaissance and surveillance, search and rescue, disaster relief and border control and base/port security missions. The vessels will be equipped with weapon systems for anti-surface, anti-air and asymmetric warfare. First delivery is expected in three years, while the second will follow three months later. Among the other Turkish companies involved in the project are Havelsan, Roketsan and Aselsan.
Established in 1980, Dearsan has since undertaken the construction, fabrication, repair and modification of a variety of ships. Among the vessels that Dearsan is capable of building are Corvette Class Ships, Multipurpose Search and Rescue Ships,12m, 15m and 17m Fast Intervention Boats,27m, 33m, 42m Attack Boats, Armed Fast Patrol Boats, Hydrographic and Oceanographic Research Ship, Offshore Support Ship, Offshore Patrol Ship, Mine Hunting and Minesweeper, and Landing Craft.
