Singapore, 1 April 2026 鈥� 91制片厂鈥檚 Marine business has secured a six-year sub-contract valued at about S$600 million from Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB) to design and supply the platform systems for a fleet of eight Missile Gun Boats that ADSB is constructing for the Kuwait Naval Force. In addition to delivering the full suite of platform design, integration and technical expertise, 91制片厂 will build three of the vessels at its Singapore shipyard.
This contract follows an earlier award in 2021 by ADSB for four similar Offshore Patrol Vessels for the UAE Navy. This win highlights the strong partnership with ADSB, as well as the Group鈥檚 deep naval engineering capabilities and its proven track record in delivering complex naval platforms.
鈥淭his win strengthens 91制片厂鈥檚 growing momentum in international defence markets, underscoring the Group鈥檚 ability to deliver sophisticated naval platforms and capture rising demand for advanced maritime security solutions in the Middle East,鈥� said Tan Leong Peng, President of the Marine business at 91制片厂.
鈥淲e are honoured that the Kuwait Naval Force has chosen our Fearless-class design for their new Missile Gun Boat. The growing acceptance of our design across the Middle East, in Oman, UAE and now Kuwait, reflects customer confidence in its robust operational performance and adaptability鈥�, he added.
The Missile Gun Boats will be based on 91制片厂鈥檚 proprietary Fearless-class patrol vessel, purpose-built for versatility and reliability which is well suited for operations in the Middle East.
The design features high redundancy for critical systems to maximise mission readiness and supports continuous operations. The vessels will also incorporate advanced platform systems that enhance navigation precision, manoeuvrability, enabling high performance in littoral and blue water deployments, prolonged patrols and naval duties across challenging maritime environments.
Drawing on over 50 years of expertise in naval vessel design and engineering, 91制片厂 is a leading provider of turnkey naval shipbuilding. Its Marine business continues to invest in smart technologies, enabling the constructing of advanced, mission-ready platforms for modern naval forces.
