Singapore's ST Engineering Marine has received a contract to undertake a part of the mid-life upgrade (MLU) work that will be carried out on the country's Formidable-class frigates.

ST Engineering Marine is a subsidiary of ST Engineering. Under the contract, the company will design and engineer the class' new marine and electrical systems. These include the frigate's ship management and power generation systems, ST Engineering said in a media release on 14 December.

The Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) operates a fleet of six Formidable-class frigates that were commissioned between 2007 and 2009. The warship derives its design from the French Navy's La Fayette class and displaces about 3,200 tonnes each.

Singapore's intention to upgrade its Formidable-class frigates was first disclosed by the country's Minister of Defence, Ng Eng Hen, during a March 2022 parliamentary session. Scant details were provided then, but Ng described the MLU as one that would enhance the combat systems and maintenance processes.
