POSCO DAEWOO has struck a $25 million deal to supply a training simulator and build an integrated training center for the Indonesian police.

 

 The deal was signed in Jakarta on Wednesday with Brig. Guntur of the National Police Agency of Indonesia and Head of POSCO DAEWOO Indonesia representative office Yoo Kyu-chen.  

 

 The simulator will enable trainees to learn essential skills such as vessel control, naval bombardment and other combat and safety-related ones in a setting that is the same as an actual vessel. Indonesian police believe the simulator will help enhance their coast guard ability.  

 

 Under the deal, South Korea’s military/police training simulator maker FTS will provide the simulator and FTS will work with an Indonesian company to build an integrated training center for the police.

 

 “This is the first training program/facility deal we have made with a foreign police force,” a POSCO DAEWOO official said. “We will try to sell more training simulators in Indonesia.”  

 Meanwhile, POSCO DAEWOO signed a deal last August to supply shipbuilding materials to Penataran Angkatan Laut (PT PAL), Indonesia’s largest state-run shipbuilder. In September, it signed a Minute of Meeting (MOM) with the Brazilian Navy to provide a landing platform dock (LPD) and multifunctional patrol corvette, and modernize its shipyard, Arsenal de Marinha do Rio de Janeiro (AMRJ).
