Saudi Arabia’s International Maritime Industries (IMI) is enhancing its military shipbuilding capabilities through a new partnership with HHI.
Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) and International Maritime Industries (IMI) unveiled the new HDF-3800SA frigate design at the World Defense Show in Riyadh.
At the same time, the two companies signed an MoU for collaborative business projects.
In addition, for the operation and maintenance of the frigate, HHI said it would provide through-life support for the vessel.
