BAE Systems is positioning its Type 31 multipurpose
frigate to meet potential opportunities in the Royal Thai Navy (RTN) for
additional surface combatants.
A spokesperson for the company told Jane’s on 6 November
at the Defence & Security 2017 show in Bangkok that, if selected to fulfil
requirements, BAE Systems would offer to build the Type 31 frigate in
partnership with local industry.
The RTN ordered one light frigate from South Korea’s
Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) in 2013 at a cost of about
USD400 million. This 122 m vessel is being built in South Korea and is
scheduled to be delivered to the RTN in August 2018.
