GOVERNMENT SHOULD ASK SINGAPORE AND INDONESIA FOR HELP

New Zealand First congratulates the government for accepting the assistance of overseas militaries, but is puzzled why Singapore and Indonesia haven’t been asked given landing ships of those two navies are in New Zealand right now.

“If the intention is to get people out of Kaikoura and to get heavy earthmoving equipment in, along with food and water, then landing ships are purpose designed,” says Ron Mark, New Zealand First Defence Spokesperson and Deputy Leader.

“These vessels can generate fresh water, have kitchens capable of preparing bulk meals and offer medical facilities too. They are floating sea bases and could support and accommodate emergency workers too.

“Singapore’s RSS Resolution and Indonesia’s KRI Banda Aech are here now for the Navy’s 75th and could have easily sailed with HMNZS Canterbury.

PASIR PUTEH: Agensi Penguatkuasaan Maritim Malaysia (APMM) akan memperkukuh kawalan perairan negara dengan pemilikan sembilan kapal ronda berteknologi tinggi bernilai lebih RM1 bilion. Ketua Pengarah APMM, Laksamana Maritim Datuk Seri Ahmad Puzi Ab Kahar berkata, tiga kapal ronda yang dilengkapi peralatan canggih sedang dalam proses pembinaan bernilai RM376 juta, dijangka siap dalam tempoh dua tahun akan datang.

"Selebihnya kapal ronda luar pesisir pantai (OPV) sepanjang 84 meter sebuah dengan nilai perbelanjaan sebanyak RM740 juta yang dijangka siap pembinaannya dalam tempoh yang sama," katanya kepada pemberita selepas Program Pelupusan Abu Al-Quran dan Pembinaan Taman Tukun Keputeraan di Perairan Tok Bali di sini, semalam.

sos

I'm familiar with the planned MMEA 44-meter NGPC made by Destini Shipbuilding (below), but what's this?


MMEA 44-meter NGPC model at DSA 2016

this for egyptian navy? the 2500 tons hull? damn.. its really look very big for 2500 tons hull.

just other MMEA new large patrol ship project, which design include helicopter pad. 84 meter about 1300--1500 tons.
3 ship will be built.

I'm also interested with the eventual fates of the RMN ships not part of the 15 to 5 plan. What do you all think? Sold, donated, scrapped or passed to APMM?

There's quite a number of still good assets which would be surplus to requirements, like the Lekiu class frigates. Also, are the TLDM-affiliated auxiliary vessels like Bunga Mas 5, Bunga Mas 6 and the Tun Azizan affected by the 15 to 5 plan?

I offcouse support 15-5 plan, currently too many type of ship, but i prefer 15-7, but future any plan can change, depend on budget.
those ship like Handalan,Perdana, Jerong class boat already more than 40 years, not really can use any more for APMM. even boat now i guest in low serviceability or can sink any time.
BM5/BM6/Tun Azizan just temporary workaround ship (limited capability), since we not have LPD or Auxiliary ship or MRSS. i estimated those 3 ship will use for 10 years before MRSS will built. since all navy budget will go to LMS/LCS, i predict MRSS only will get after 2023-2025. or soonest is 2020.
currently RMN have KD MAHAWANGSA & KD Sri Indera Sakti small multi propose support ship also already 33+ year old, i believe it only have other 10 year life.

I think expansion of NGPVs (Kedah-class) will cost more. 18 ships of LMS are pretty cheap, the 12 NGPVs planned to be added to the current 6 ships will probably cost a lot more.

looks like the 15 to 5 plan is in full speed, latest confirmed retirement is slated for the 2 hydrographic ships
http://www.malaysiandefence.com/kd-mutiara-short-leash/

so total of 6 ships the laksamana-class (4 ships) & the perantau-class (2 ships) is due for retirement

IMHO Hydrographic surveying is an auxiliary duty at best anyway, so we don't actually need dedicated naval vessels for it if we don't have the money. Contracting a civilian survey firm for this duty is totally acceptable.
