Added on December 8, 2011, 9:03 pmMMEA Has Taken Delivery Of Four Of 10 Yonca-Onuk Fast Interceptor Boats

The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) has so far taken delivery of four of the 10 ONUK MRTP16 fast interceptor craft constructed by BYO Marine Sdn Bhd under contract.

The official handing over and launch of the vessels, named PENGGALANG 10, 11, 12 and 13, today was witnessed by Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin at the BYO Marine dockyard here.

The Malaysian government signed a contract with BYO Marine on Feb 18 this year for the delivery of 10 ONUK MRTP16 fast interceptor craft. Three of the boats were handed over in June, August and November, respectively, and one was handed over Monday.

MMEA director-general Admiral (Maritime) Datuk Mohd Amdan Kurish said two of the delivered boats were constructed in Turkey and the other two, here.

"The remaining six are expected to be delivered in June next year. Of the six, two will be built in Turkey and four here. The fast interceptor boats will enhance our capability in undertaking operations," he told reporters after the official launch and delivery ceremony.

Also present at the event were Defence Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Ahmad Maslan, Boustead Heavy Industries Corporation Bhd group managing director Tan Sri Ahmad Ramli Mohd Nor, Boustead Holdings group managing director Tan Sri Lodin Wok Kamaruddin and Yonca-Onuk JV deputy chairman Raja Mohamed Mustafa.

The three boats delivered earlier have been put into operation in the northern and southern maritime regions to patrol the country's maritime zones in the Strait of Melaka.

Each of the fast interceptor boats can reach a speed of more than 60 knots and can accommodate up to 10 crew at any one time. It takes only 15 minutes to reach the Kuala Perlis jetty from Langkawi compared to the one hour taken by passenger boats.Besides anti-smuggling and anti-piracy operations, these boats can be used in search-and-rescue operations and pollution control.

BYO Marine Sdn Bhd is a joint-venture company of Boustead Heavy Industries Defence Technology of Malaysia and Yonca-Onuk JV of Turkey.
