ST Engineering has secured a six-year sub-contract valued at about $600 million from Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB).
ST Engineering is to help design and supply the platform systems for a fleet of eight Missile Gun Boats that ADSB is constructing for the Kuwait Naval Force.
In addition to delivering the full suite of platform design, integration and technical expertise, ST Engineering will build three of the vessels at its Singapore shipyard.
This contract follows an earlier award in 2021 by ADSB for four similar Offshore Patrol Vessels for the UAE Navy.
The Missile Gun Boats will be based on ST Engineering’s own Fearless-class patrol vessel.
ST Engineering has earlier indicated its confidence that having won $600 million worth of overseas defence contracts in 2025, it can double that amount this year.

“This win strengthens ST Engineering’s growing momentum in international defence markets, underscoring the group’s ability to deliver sophisticated naval platforms and capture rising demand for advanced maritime security solutions in the Middle East,” says Tan Leong Peng, president of the Marine business at ST Engineering.
“We are honoured that the Kuwait Naval Force has chosen our Fearless-class design for their new Missile Gun Boat. The growing acceptance of our design across the Middle East, in Oman, UAE and now Kuwait, reflects customer confidence in its robust operational performance and adaptability”, he adds.
ST Engineering shares closed at $11.10, up 2.68% for the day.
