Design

[edit]

Raja Haji Fisabilillah initially was designed with a length of 90 m (300 ft) and a beam of 13.5 m (44 ft),[2] however during the construction it was redesigned to a length of 98 m (322 ft).[3]

Service history

[edit]

The ship's contract was awarded on 16 April 2020, with the contract worth Rp 1,079,100,000,000.[4] Its construction was began with first steel cutting on 26 August 2021 at the then PT Daya Radar Utama (later renamed to PT Noahtu Shipyard) shipyard in Bandar Lampung, Lampung.[2][5]

The ship's keel was laid on 16 November 2022.[6] The ship experienced delays during its construction, which drew some criticism. Although the ship was planned to be handed over in 2023, the construction progress was only at 35% by March 2023.[4][7]

The patrol vessel was launched on 18 September 2024,[8] and was officially given the name of Raja Haji Fisabilillah two days later on the 20 September.[9]
