Fincantieri and PT PAL Indonesia sign an MoU for the modernization of the vessel KRI SRIWIJAYA

Fincantieri and PT PAL Indonesia have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at defining a cooperation framework for the future modernization program of the Indonesian Navy ship KRI SRIWIJAYA (ex-Giuseppe Garibaldi). Fincantieri and PT PAL Indonesia will collaborate for the modernization of the ship, sold free of charge by Italy to Indonesia, on the basis of the consideration that the expenditure connected to maintenance activities would have been more costly for the Italian State compared to the hypothesis of selling it free of charge. Originally entered into service as the Giuseppe Garibaldi aircraft carrier cruiser, the ship, built by Fincantieri at the Monfalcone shipyard and delivered to the Navy in 1985, arrived in Jakarta on 18 September. At present it is devoid of offensive weapon devices.

Industrial cooperation

This agreement represents a further step in consolidating the relationship between Fincantieri and Indonesia.
