ST Engineering Marine to Upgrade Formidable-Class Frigates

Our Bureau - : May 2, 2024 - : 5:53 pm

ST Engineering Marine Ltd, a subsidiary of ST Engineering, has secured a contract with the Singapore Ministry of Defence for the mid-life upgrade of the Formidable-class frigates for the Republic of Singapore Navy.

The agreement, previously announced in December last year, signifies a continuation of the partnership between the Singaporean company and Naval Group, which commenced in 2000 with the construction of the Formidable-class frigates.

Under this contract, Naval Group, acting as a subcontractor to ST Engineering, will contribute its expertise to the upgrade project. This collaboration reinforces Naval Group’s commitment to serving the Singapore Navy alongside its partner.

Naval Group’s involvement in the upgrade project is underpinned by its extensive knowledge of the Formidable frigates, having constructed the first vessel in the series at the Lorient shipyard in France.

The subsequent construction of five frigates by ST Engineering’s shipyard further underscores the strong partnership between the two companies. Naval Group will liaise closely with its subsidiary, Naval Group Far East, based in Singapore, to support project management, maintenance, and supply chain operations for the upgrade project.
