Keel laid for first Offshore Patrol Vessel built in WA

The Morrison Government’s National Shipbuilding Program has reached another milestone with the keel laying for the first Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) under construction in WA.

Minister for Defence, Senator the Hon Linda Reynolds CSC said the keel laying is an important naval tradition that brings good luck to the build of the ship and the life of the vessel by placing a coin under the keel.

“This milestone marks the start of the consolidation phase for the third Arafura Class ship to be built in Australia, named Pilbara by the Chief of Navy,” Minister Reynolds said.

“It demonstrates the success of this Government’s Naval Shipbuilding plan, with eight vessels already built and another 10 vessels currently under construction at Henderson and Osborne.

“Western Australia is playing a key role in the development of our national naval shipbuilding enterprise, and the Government’s $4.7 billion OPV program is spearheading the implementation of this plan and connecting with Australian industry.

“Since construction commenced ahead of schedule in March, the Luerssen and Civmec teams in WA have continued to make significant progress on building the blocks that, when complete, will form a 1,600 tonne 80 metre long OPV.

“Made with Australian steel, cut locally in WA, the OPVs will offer greater endurance to undertake maritime patrol and response duties, as well as support specialist missions.”

Minister for Defence Industry Melissa Price said the keel laying was of extra significance for her given the Pilbara was in her electorate of Durack.

“I have no doubt that people in my electorate and the wider WA community will be as proud as I am of the fact that this ship will be known as Pilbara, particularly given the region’s remarkable contribution to this country,” Minister Price said.

“I am very pleased that Luerssen and Civmec have been able to reach this milestone in such a timely manner, and I have no doubt that is due in part to the practices they put in place to deal with COVID-19.

“This project has created about 400 jobs here in Perth and involved more than 300 businesses across the Australian supply chain.

“It is on track to achieve more than 60 per cent local industry content.”

The OPVs are based on the Lürssen PV80 design.

The first two vessels are under construction at the Osborne Naval Shipyard in South Australia, and will be followed by 10 ships to be built at the Henderson shipyard.

Morrison Government's Arafura class program reaches new milestone

The Morrison Government’s $90 billion National Shipbuilding Program has reached another milestone with the ceremonial keel laying of the second Arafura Class Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) in Adelaide.

The keel laying is an important shipyard and naval tradition that brings good luck to the build of the ship and the life of the vessel by placing a coin under the keel.

Minister for Defence, Senator the Hon Linda Reynolds CSC said the keel laying reinforces the continued progress and ongoing success story of this Morrison Government’s $90 billion continuous shipbuilding endeavour in Australia.

“The Arafura Class Offshore Patrol Vessels are larger than the Armidale Class Patrol Boats currently in service with the Royal Australian Navy, and will offer greater endurance and capability for patrolling Australia’s maritime borders,” Minister Reynolds said.

“Over the past 10 months, Luerssen Australia alongside ASC Shipbuilding have contributed an enormous effort to build and commence consolidation of the keel blocks, which when complete, will be part of a 1,600 tonne ship.



“Defence and industry are working closely to support our sovereign shipbuilding programs and Australian jobs in these challenging times, in a way that is safe for employees and the community.”

Minister for Defence Industry, the Hon Melissa Price MP said the OPV program is creating jobs right across the supply-chain.

“This project is estimated to create around 600 jobs involving more than 300 small and medium businesses, reinforcing the Morrison Government’s commitment to maximising Australian industry involvement in our $90 billion shipbuilding program,” Minister Price said.

“The project also highlights Australian industry’s ability to deliver on schedule with construction on the first Offshore Patrol Vessel being built in Western Australia commencing ahead of schedule.

The Chief of Navy, Vice Admiral Michael Noonan, AO, RAN announced that the vessel will be commissioned as HMAS Eyre when it comes into operational service in early 2023.

“The next four OPVs will be named HMAS Pilbara, HMAS Gippsland, HMAS Illawarra and HMAS Carpentaria,” Vice Admiral Noonan said.

Two OPVs are being built by ASC Shipbuilding at Osborne Naval Shipyard, setting the foundation of continuous shipbuilding prior to prototyping commencing on the Hunter Class Frigate Program in 2020.

"I am glad that the laying of new ships has become regular. We have recently handed over to the customer the Ostap Sheremeta supply vessel to service shelf oil platforms. We prove that the shipyard is alive and can produce military and civilian ships," shipyard CEO Vladimir Kulakov said.

"The third corvette for the Pacific fleet means the shipyard can build any series of warships, including ten corvettes of project 20380 which are necessary in the Pacific Ocean," Russian Pacific fleet Deputy Commander Igor Korolev said.

The Karakurt class, Russian designation Project 22800 Karakurt, is a small missile corvette in Russian designed for the Russian Navy by the Russian Company Almaz Design Bureau. The project of this corvette was unveiled during the International Military-Technical Forum «ARMY-2015», defense exhibition near Moscow.

The Project 22800 Karakurt-Class guided-missile corvette will be used to perform anti-surface and anti-air warfare, as well as coastal surveillance missions in littoral zones.

The main armament of the Karakurt-Class will include Kalibr-NK cruise missiles fired from an eight-tube UKSK vertical launching system (VLS). The 3M-14T Kalibr-NK is a land-attack cruise missile carried by Russia’s surface vessels. Reports put its max range at 1,500 – 2,500 km.

The Karakurt-Class missile corvette will also be armed with the Pantsir-M missile and anti-aircraft gun system. It is a naval variant of the Pantsir-S1 combined surface-to-air missile (SAM) and anti-aircraft artillery system developed by KBP Instrument Design Bureau.

The Karakurt-Class is also armed with an AK-176MA 76.2mm automatic gun located on the forward bow deck, an upgraded variant of the AK-176 naval gun. It can fire at a rate of 150rpm and can engage targets within the maximum range of 15 km.

Armament of the corvette also includes two AK-630M 30mm close-in weapon systems (CIWS), that are used to destroy aerial and surface targets such as anti-ship missiles, aircraft and helicopters, as well as small-size surface vessels, floating mines, and shore-based fire posts.

Boustead Naval Shipyard Sdn Bhd (BNS), an associate of Boustead Heavy Industries Corp Bhd (BHIC), hosted a keel laying ceremony for the fourth unit of the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) of the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) at Boustead Naval Shipyard (BN Shipyard) in Lumut, Perak, today.

The ceremony marked the symbolic progress of the construction of the fourth of six units of LCS, a powerful warship that will bolster Malaysia’s maritime defence ordered by RMN from BNS. They will replace ageing RMN warships and will be a significant addition to RMN’s armada in transforming itself into a lean, mean, modern and highly capable navy.

The LCS’ dimensions are as impressive as its power and capabilities. It has a length overall of 111 m, a beam main deck of 16 m and a depth main deck of 8.35 m. It will feature a crew of highly trained 138 RMN personnel. The ship can sail at a maximum speed of 28 knots with an endurance of 21 days at sea.

The LCS is capable of operating in multi-dimensional warfare situations, thanks to its impressive array of state-of the-art armaments. These include BOFORS medium calibre gun, VL MICA surface to air missiles, NSM surface to surface missiles, TLS-M SEA torpedo launching system and SYLENA Mk2 decoy launching system. Its combat and sensor systems are equally as impressive, which include the cutting edge SETIS Combat Management System, VIGILE 100 Mk2S Electronic Warfare System and SMART-S Mk2 search radar.

Located in Lumut, Perak next to the RMN base, BN Shipyard is the largest naval shipyard in Malaysia in terms of capacity. It has a strong track record and proven capabilities in the construction and repair of naval vessels. It can also undertake the construction and reparation of commercial vessels including luxury yachts, anchor handling tugs and offshore supply vessels. The yard is also a fabrication centre for container cranes and heavy steel structures such as topsides for the oil & gas industry.

The laying of the keel was officiated by Yang Berhormat Senator Liew Chin Tong, Deputy Defence Minister. In his address, Senator Liew said that the Government was pleased that a project of such magnitude utilising high technology can be undertaken at a local shipyard and features much local content in areas such as design, engineering and construction.




“This augurs well with the Government’s aspiration to enhance skilled human resources to make Malaysia a high income economy through skills based, value adding and innovation driven activities,” said Senator Liew.

BNS’ Managing Director, who is also BHIC’s Executive Deputy Chairman and Managing Director, Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Ahmad Ramli Hj Mohd Nor, said, “The keel laying ceremony of this fourth unit of LCS stands testimony to BN Shipyard’s ability to undertake and deliver sizeable newbuilding projects of national importance.”

“BNS is proud to work with RMN’s LCS team to deliver these ships which are of tremendous strategic value to the nation’s maritime defence and will become among the key assets to safeguard the nation’s maritime interests and support its defence diplomacy,” said Ahmad Ramli.

Ahmad Ramli added, “We are encouraged by the Government’s continuous support of our nation’s maritime defence effort, and we are hopeful that this will bode well for BN Shipyard and its vendors. As a Government Linked Company, BHIC puts great emphasis in developing vendors by giving them the opportunity to be involved in huge projects such as LCS, and exposure to high technology required in its construction.”

“Construction of the first four units of LCS, including this fourth one, is progressing well. BN Shipyard is on track to deliver all six units of the LCS to RMN by 2023 as targeted and we are proud to be involved in this prestigious project and contribute to national security through building these assets,” said Ahmad Ramli.
