With the opening of a new office in the Complex Antarabangsa, Jalan Sultan Ismail, in Kuala Lumpur on November 10, 2006, ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems is clearly demonstrating its continuing presence and commitment in Malaysia.

The shipyard alliance can already look back on extensive, pleasant business relations with Malaysia. This includes the construction of the shipyard in Lumut, which was completed in 1985, along with the construction of several naval surface vessels for the Royal Malaysian Navy: the corvettes KD Kasturi and KD Lekir, which were handed over by HDW in 1985, and the MEKO® offshore patrol vessels KD Kedah und KD Pahang, which were completed in partnership with the local company PSC in Malaysia and put into service this summer.
