ST Engineering marine business president Ng Sing Chan said: “This contract affirms our capabilities to design and build large and complex naval vessels.

“The new MRCV will harness the ‘multiplier effect’ of digital technologies to meet the RSN’s requirements for faster, more efficient operations. It also demonstrates our commitment to support MINDEF in the areas of design, construction, operations and support.”

The new MRCVs are expected to replace the RSN’s existing Victory-class missile corvettes (MCVs), which have served since 1989.

The MCVs will continue to operate until the MRCVs are inducted into service.
