Makassar-class landing platform dock

The Makassar class is a class of 4 Landing Platform Docks designed for the Indonesian Navy by Daesun Shipbuilding & Engineering Co. of South Korea and based on the earlier Tanjung Dalpele class. The US$150 million contract was signed in December 2004 and the first two units were built in Busan, South Korea. The remaining two were built at Indonesia's PT PAL shipyard in Surabaya with assistance from Daesun.

The contract for the 3rd and 4th LPD to be built in Indonesia was signed with PT PAL on March 28, 2005. On 19 October 2006, the first of the two Indonesian-built units, was laid down in a ceremony by Admiral Slamet Subiyanto, Chief of Staff, Indonesian Navy.

The 3rd and 4th units have been modified to act as flagships with provisions for a command and control system, 57mm gun and air defense systems.

The Peruvian Navy selected the Makassar class for the Buque Multipropósito program in 2012. First ship of the class was laid down in the SIMA Callao shipyard on July 13, 2013; a second unit is also planned.
