ST Engineering Launches the First-of-Class Multi-Role Combat Vessel

ST Engineering today launched the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN)’s first Victory-class Multi-Role Combat Vessel (MRCV), Victory, at its Benoi Yard. The launch ceremony was officiated by Mr Chan Chun Sing, Singapore’s Minister for Defence. MRCV Victory is the first of six MRCVs to be built by ST Engineering under a detailed design and construction contract awarded by the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) in 2023.

“The launch of MRCV Victory demonstrates the strength of our close collaboration,” said Mervyn Tan, President, Defence & Public Security, ST Engineering. “Through our partnership with the Republic of Singapore Navy and the Defence Science and Technology Agency, we have set the foundation for the successful delivery of future-ready first-of-class naval platforms that will strengthen Singapore’s maritime defence.”

MRCV Victory is a demonstration of the Group’s engineering depth across multiple domains – from detailed design and shipbuilding to the implementation of critical cyber-secured communication networks to the complex integration of multiple weapons systems. This complex undertaking reinforced ST Engineering’s position as a trusted partner capable of delivering advanced, multi-domain defence innovations for Singapore and beyond.
