Description
The Teluk Bintuni class, designated AT-117M, is a series of tank landing ships (LST) built for the Indonesian Navy. The class succeeded the Teluk Gilimanuk class and is constructed indigenously by several Indonesian shipyards, including PT Dok & Perkapalan Kodja Bahari, PT Daya Radar Utama, and PT Bandar Abadi Shipyard. Production began in 2012, with the lead vessel entering service in 2015. The Indonesian Navy intends to acquire a total of twelve vessels, incorporating modifications from the lead ship across the production run.
The class consists of multiple variants, primarily distinguished by differences in hull length and the inclusion of aircraft hangars. These vessels are designed for amphibious operations and are capable of transporting main battle tanks, such as the Leopard 2, and infantry fighting vehicles. For ship-to-shore transfer, the ships carry Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel (LCVP) and rigid-hulled inflatable boats (RIB). Cargo handling is facilitated by an onboard crane. The design accommodates a complement of sailors, aviation personnel, and embarked troops. The vessels are designed for a 20-day sea endurance and can carry helicopters, with certain hulls featuring dedicated hangars for aircraft stowage.
The class has participated in maritime security and humanitarian assistance missions. In January 2018, the lead ship, Teluk Bintuni, responded to a distress signal from a tugboat in the Berhala Strait; the crew deployed an LCVP to intercept and apprehend hijackers. Later that year, the same vessel transported supplies to the site of the Sulawesi earthquake and tsunami. In August 2019, Teluk Lada was deployed to the Maluku region to respond to the hijacking of the fishing vessel MV Mina Sejati. Upon locating the vessel, the crew investigated the ship and processed survivors following an internal conflict aboard the fishing boat.
