Akhisar Offshore Patrol Ship to Set Sea Trials

The Turkish Navy’s future Offshore Patrol Ship, Akhisar P-1220, which was built at the Istanbul Shipyard Command under ASFAT’s responsibility, is preparing to conduct sea trials.
Military Factory and Shipyard Operations Corporation (ASFAT A.Ş.) wrote on social media, “Hisar class Offshore Patrol Ship, built by Istanbul Shipyard Command, of which we are the prime contractor as ASFAT, will soon set sail. We will continue to add strength to our domestic and national defence industry and produce for the strong future of our state and nation!”
The new offshore patrol ship has a low radar cross-section and underwater acoustic signature.
A contract was signed between ASFAT A.Ş. and the Ministry of National Defence for two offshore patrol vessels based on the Ada class in November 2020. The first ship (P-1220) TCG AKHİSAR began in August 2021, while the second ship (P-1221) TCG KOÇHİSAR began in December 2022.
