As part of IDEF 2025, the Secretariat of Defence Industries and
TAİS Shipyards signed a landmark contract for the procurement of four National
Coast Guard Ships, with the participation of Prof. Dr. Haluk Görgün.


These indigenously built vessels will operate across Türkiye’s exclusive economic zones, coastal waters, and high seas—ensuring the protection of national sovereignty and maritime interests through a broad spectrum of missions.

Enforcement of sovereignty rights

Prevention of illicit maritime activity

Deterrence of threats

Search and rescue operations

Continuous surveillance and patrol duties

Protection of marine resources

Humanitarian aid during natural disasters

Robust operational capabilities under challenging sea states
With the first delivery scheduled within 26 months, this initiative marks a critical step toward enhancing Türkiye’s maritime security and operational deterrence.
