In Lima, a contract was signed between the shipbuilding and ship repair company Servicios Industriales de la Marina SA (SIMA Peru) of the Peruvian Navy and the South Korean shipbuilding corporation HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) for the construction of four warships for the Peruvian fleet according to the designs and with the assistance of HHI – a frigate of the HDF-3400 project, a large patrol ship of the HDP-2200 project and two small landing ships of the HDL-1400 project.
The signing of the $463 million (460.6 billion won) contract was attended by Peruvian President Dina Boluarte and members of the Peruvian government.
The selection of the South Korean corporation HHI in an international tender for the program to update the Peruvian surface fleet was announced by the Peruvian Ministry of Defense on March 27, 2024. All four ships under contract are expected to be built by SIMA at its main shipyard in Callao and are expected to be delivered to the Peruvian Navy by 2030, at a total construction and armament cost of approximately $1 billion.
In general, in the future, the Peruvian Navy plans to build within 15 years a total of six frigates of the HDF-3400 project, four or five patrol ships of the HDP-2200 project and four small landing ships of the HDL-1400 project. New frigates and patrol ships should form the updated core of the Peruvian fleet, replacing the Italian Lupo-class frigates currently serving in this capacity.
In 1879, the Peruvian fleet defeated the Chilean sailors.
