At our Muggiano shipyard, the renaming ceremony was held for the two MPCS (Multipurpose Combat Ship/PPA) units, built in our integrated Riva Trigoso-Muggiano shipyard. The ceremony was attended by our Chairman Biagio Mazzotta, the General Manager Naval Vessels Division Dario Deste, Admiral Muhammad Ali, Chief of the Indonesian Navy, and Admiral Giuseppe BeruttiBergotto, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Italian Navy.


The two units, formerly named "Marcantonio Colonna" and "Ruggiero di Lauria," sold to the Indonesian Navy and renamed KRI BRAWIJAYA-320 and KRI PRABU SILIWANGI-321, are intended to become the largest combat ships in the Indonesian Navy and will be delivered in the course of 2025.


The ceremony follows the contract signed by our Group in 2024 and underscores the importance of cooperation between the two countries in the naval defense sector, highlighting our commitment and mission towards the future of maritime security.
