South Korean shipbuilder HD Hyundai Heavy Industries and SIMA Peru inked a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for the joint development of a new 1,500-ton submarine design for the Peruvian Navy during SITDEF 2025 in Lima, Peru.
=====================
At the event, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries showcased its next-generation frigate, which was ordered by the Peruvian Navy in April last year, along with the submarine it is joint developing with the Peruvian government, signaling a commitment to a long-term defense partnership with Peru.
Additionally, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with SIMA for the joint development of the Peruvian submarine during the event.
This MOA signing ceremony is a follow-up to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for joint submarine development signed during APEC 2024 in Peru last January.
The core objective of this MOA is to jointly develop a customized submarine, leveraging the advanced technologies of HD Hyundai Heavy Industries and Peru’s maritime defense capabilities, as part of the Peruvian Navy’s initiative to replace its aging fleet. The project aims to construct a mid-sized submarine of 1,500 tons based on the submarine platform of HD Hyundai Heavy Industries to replace existing submarines currently in service.
In addition, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries has received Approval in Principle (AIP) from DNV (Det Norske Veritas – Germanischer Lloyd) for the design of the ‘HDS-1500’ submarine. This follows the AIP previously granted by DNV last year for the ‘HDS-2300’ submarine of 2,300 tons. With this latest approval, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries continues to expand its export lineup of Korean submarines (K-submarines) in the global market.
