The support and training contract will provide the Royal Malaysian Navy with two sets of ship spares, supported by a Train the Trainer course hosted at SEA’s facility in Barnstaple (UK) and an in-country Operator & Maintainer Training course to further develop naval technical expertise. 

Following successful completion of the Train the Trainer course in 2026 , SEA’s ongoing support includes a recertification opportunity in 2028 to provide ongoing knowledge transfer and enable the self-sufficiency and long-term capability availability for the RMN.  

The contract builds on SEA’s existing relationship with the RMN following the contract extension with LUNAS to supply its fixed triple configuration Torpedo Launcher System (TLS) to the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN). 

Stuart Gisbey, Support & Services Programme Manager at SEA said: “This contract reflects our approach to partnership, focusing not just on capability delivery but on long-term service and support. By delivering high-quality support, training and transfer of expertise, the Royal Malaysian Navy will benefit from greater self-sufficiency and confidence over the availability of their capabilities.” 

SEA’s long-term technical support for the RMN will be supported by SEA’s Sales Director Asia Pacific, Victor Chavardes, further enhancing the company’s presence and responsiveness to its naval customers, shipbuilders and partners in Southeast Asia. 

Ir. Muhammad Hanif bin Muhammad, Deputy Project Director Management at LUNAS said: “SEA’s technical expertise, training and focus on maintainability will play a key role in supporting the operational readiness of the Royal Malaysian Navy’s torpedo launcher systems. Building on our strong partnership to incorporate long-term support and training will enable future capability availability and build essential skills and expertise within the navy.”
