A number of African countries have shown interest in acquiring warships from an 
Indonesian state-owned Shipbuilding company, PAL. PT PAL’S Chief Executive Officer,
Mr Saleh Budiman, said on Thursday, the 13th of July, that his company is looking
to request permission and an export licence from the Indonesian Government to build
and export some ships to the African countries.

Among the countries known to have indicated interests is Senegal, Gabon, Guinea-
Bissau and Nigeria. Senegal wants to purchase a Landing Platform Dock (LPD) and 
possibly two guided missile warships, while Gabon and Guinea-Bissau want to purchase
two units of the Guided missile warship.

According to him, the type of **warship** the Nigerians might buy is still not determined,
however. He hinted that it might be the PT PAL Strategic Sealift Vessel (SSV) or
the PKR Guided Missile Destroyer. He further noted that the Nigerian purchase would
be solely dependent on the country’s needs and budget.
