ST Engineering Marine launches LMV Dauntless for Singapore Navy

It is the seventh LMV built by the firm for the Navy since 2013 to replace Fearless-class Patrol Vessels.

ST Engineering’s Marine sector rolled out the seventh Littoral Mission Vessel (LMV) named Dauntless which was built for the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN), an announcement revealed.

The official launching ceremony at ST Engineering’s Benoi Yard was officiated by Mr Heng Swee Keat, Minister for Finance whilst his wife, Heng Hwee Nee, acted as the lady sponsor who named and launched the vessel in accordance with naval traditions.

Launched in 2013, The LMV is set to replace the RSN’s current fleet of Fearless-class Patrol Vessels which were also built by ST Engineering in the 1990s. The new LMVs are 2.5 times larger and equipped with better seakeeping capabilities to operate in higher sea state conditions.

“We are committed to continue the good progress we have made thus far, and look forward to completing the programme with the last and final LMV,” ST Engineering’s Marine sector president Ng Sing Chan said.

The launching ceremony was graced by senior officials from the Ministry of Defence and the Singapore Armed Forces.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
