Daewoo International and Daesun Shipbuilding won a repeat order from the Indonesian Navy to supply four more 11,300-ton LPDs. Daewoo International Corp signed a $150-million contract to provide four warships to the Indonesian navy in what is viewed as a major step in boosting its presence in the naval technology business in Southeast Asian countries. The four warships - three common landing platform docks (LPDs) and a command ship - will be exported to Indonesia for use by its navy in warfare and practice missions. The LPD is designed to transport troops into a war zone by sea using landing craft. It embarks, transports and lands soldiers and landing craft and can also be used for landings by helicopters. South Korea's Dae Sun Shipbuilding & Engineering had manufactured two of the LPDs and will give technological support to Indonesian firms for the building of the remaining two.
