For nearly four hundred years, DCNS has stood as a global leader in maritime defense, specializing in the design and construction of submarines and surface vessels, as well as developing related systems and infrastructure while providing a comprehensive range of services to naval installations and shipyards. As a close collaborator with Malaysia, the Group aims to strengthen this partnership and will take part in the DSA exhibition in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) from April 18 to 21, 2016. This event offers DCNS a platform to exhibit its proficiency in this crucial export sector and engage with key stakeholders.
Recognized as a global leader in maritime defense and a significant player in marine renewable energy, DCNS is devoted to establishing enduring relationships with Malaysia and collaborating closely with the Malaysian industry.
The Group already showcases a robust industrial investment in the region via its collaboration with Boustead Group and their Joint-Venture Boustead DCNS Naval Corporation (BDNC) for the In-Service Support (ISS) of two Royal Malaysian Navy Scorpene submarines. Boustead Group and DCNS are jointly working to ensure the success of this initiative, which includes a significant transfer of technology from DCNS, a vital element for local engagement, self-sufficiency, and regional content as outlined by the National Defence Industry Policy.
DCNS is also engaged in a solid technology transfer with Boustead Naval Shipyard (BNS) on the LCS Program initiated by the Royal Malaysian Navy for the procurement of six Littoral Combat Ships. BNS serves as the Prime Contractor for this project, for which DCNS’ Gowind® design and DCNS’ SETIS® Combat Management System have both been chosen. The Keel Laying of the first vessel was finalized by BNS in March 2016 at their shipyard in Lumut.
The close ties between France and Malaysia were recently highlighted by an exercise conducted last February by the French and Malaysian Navies off the northern coast of Borneo Island in the South China Sea. For the first time, the French Navy’s Aquitaine class FREMM Frigate Provence performed an anti-submarine warfare (ASW) exercise alongside the Royal Malaysian Navy’s Scorpene class submarine KD Tun Abdul Razak.
In addition to its historical endeavors in maritime defense, DCNS is advancing innovative methods in marine renewable energies, particularly Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) systems that could meet Malaysia’s energy requirements. OTEC leverages the temperature disparity that naturally exists in tropical waters between surface temperatures (around 25°C) and deep waters (5°C at a depth of 1,000 meters) to generate electricity. This provides a stable baseload energy source that may serve as a mid-term green alternative to conventional fossil fuels (gas, diesel, coal), which remain widely used in isolated tropical locations.
