LOGISTIC SUPPORT SHIP PROJECT

In scope of the Logistic Support Ship Project, two ships are being supplied in order to meet the liquid fuel (F-76 and JP-5), drinking water and food needs of the Turkish Navy combatants.

Logistic Support Ships will conduct replenishment operations for both navy combatants and helicopters with their Astern Refueling and Helicopter in Flight Refueling Systems (HIFR). Ships also will have a capability to allow 15 tons general purpose helicopters, to land and take off day and night. Moreover, ships have a medical station in which small scale surgeries can be performed.

With fully loaded displacement of 9080 t. and 106 m. length, the first of the ships, TCG Yzb. Güngör DURMUŞ, was delivered on 08 December 2021 and the second ship, Ütğm. Arif EKMEKÇİ, is planned to be delivered to the Turkish Naval Forces on September 2023.
