The Chief of the Indonesian Navy, Admiral Yudo Margono, was the chief guest at the small ceremony. Speaking on the occasion, Admiral Margono stated that the boats will enhance the Indonesian Navy’s capabilities to protect the country’s EEZs and that the vessels will be built in a convertible structure to increase armament if needed.

“In an emergency or when the country is in danger, the new patrol boats can be armed with missiles that allow it to be upgraded to a fast missile craft.”

According to Admiral Margono, the PC-60M class boat, built at the PT Caputra Mitra Sejati shipyard, is an evolution of the previously built PC-40 boats, which was later developed into PC-60 to support the Indonesian Navy’s peacetime law enforcement duties.

The launched ships were named “KRI Dorang-874” and “KRI Bawal-875“.
