Bay Galata and Kraken Marine Industries have secured a landmark deal to deliver two armored, weaponized multi-purpose patrol boats to an undisclosed Southeast Asian country. This marks the first entry of Turkish naval platforms of this class into the region.

The vessels are designed to address maritime security challenges, offering capabilities for rapid response to piracy, smuggling, and illegal fishing. They combine high maneuverability, speed, and armored protection, with integrated weapon systems for enhanced defense capabilities. The deal reflects Türkiye's growing shipbuilding sector and aims to compete in a market traditionally dominated by European and US manufacturers, emphasizing a high performance-to-cost ratio.
