Malaysia is set to receive the second of two Multi-Purpose Mission Ships, constructed in Turkey for the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA), by late 2027. Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail announced this update, noting that the timeframe is faster than initially stated. Saifuddin had earlier suggested the vessels would arrive by early 2028.
He stated he will visit Istanbul at the end of the month to personally inspect the progress of both ships. The first vessel will arrive in March, just one month prior to the Lima exhibition. The second ship will follow by the end of next year, bringing new assets that will boost the morale of the fleet.
