Thai shipbuilder Marsun has teamed with ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) to offer the German company's MEKO A-100 light frigate to the Royal Thai Navy (RTN).

Under the partnership, TKMS will supply A-100 design and technical support while Marsun will act as the lead local firm, supporting ship construction and supply chain requirements.

A Marsun official told Janes at the Defense & Security 2023 show in Bangkok on 8 November that the partnership is aimed at building local technical and industrial capability as well as meeting RTN requirements for future frigates.

Construction of the frigate could take place through a Marsun arrangement with the RTN naval dockyard in Sattahip. Other local firms would be included to produce other parts of the ship, Marsun said.

Another key element of the bid, said the companies, is the modular design of the A-100. “The RTN will be able to customise the light frigate as per their requirements,” said a TKMS official.
