Founded in 1972, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries is the world’s largest shipbuilding company. Within just ten years of its establishment, it achieved the #1 position globally in shipbuilding volume, and to date has delivered over 2,300 vessels to more than 350 shipowners in 52 countries. Leveraging the technology accumulated through its shipbuilding business, the company has expanded into offshore plants and engine‑machinery sectors, growing into a world‑class integrated heavy‑industry corporation. It now holds the top global market share in both shipbuilding and large‑engine divisions, solidifying its status as a leading global enterprise.

In addition, HD Hyundai possesses specialized personnel, state‑of‑the‑art facilities, and advanced technologies required for warship and special‑vessel construction. With its superior technical capabilities, it independently designed and built the Republic of Korea Navy’s 10,000‑ton class advanced Aegis destroyer and the 3,000‑ton class multi‑purpose frigate, and has undertaken projects for next‑generation destroyers and submarines. The company also leads defense‑industry exports by designing and constructing the latest escort ships, patrol vessels, and logistics support ships for navies and coast guards worldwide, including those of the Philippines, Peru, and New Zealand.

HD Hyundai’s Patrol Vessel is a multi‑mission platform developed from 40 years of know‑how, experience, and the latest shipbuilding technology.

• Design & Layout: Future‑oriented design and a clean superstructure reduce the RCS (Radar Cross‑Section) signature. An optimized, simplified interior layout enhances crew habitability.
• Performance: With a wide operational range and long endurance, the vessel can cover extensive waters. Capable of speeds above 26–28 knots, it can perform a variety of missions—from EEZ border surveillance to Search & Rescue (SAR), humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HADR).

• Eco‑Friendly & Smart Features: Incorporates a hybrid propulsion system and AI‑driven smart solutions to reduce crew requirements and meet evolving operational demands.
• Cost‑Effectiveness: Offers economical construction costs compared with competitors, and can be customized based on customer needs using proven platforms and technologies.
