From Türkiye’s MİLGEM Programme to Global Naval Projects

STM served as the main subcontractor in Türkiye’s first national warship programme, MİLGEM, and designed and built TCG İSTANBUL, Türkiye’s first national frigate, delivering the vessel to the Turkish Navy. Today, STM continues the construction of seven İ-Class Frigates and Türkiye’s first national fast attack craft for the Turkish Navy.

STM has successfully transferred this expertise to international programmes, undertaking two corvettes for Ukraine, three corvettes for Malaysia, two Logistics Support Ships for Portugal, and the Fleet Tanker delivered to the Pakistan Navy. The company has also contributed to the design, construction and modernization of 20 submarines to date, establishing extensive expertise in both surface and underwater platforms.
