Naval Procurement in Asia Pacific - Trends, Budgets and Requirements - IQPC
INTRODUCTION

The proliferation and volume
of threats in South East Asian
waters is becoming ever more
diverse. Border control with
illegal immigration, the
smuggling of illicit goods and
arms, piracy, kidnapping for
ransom, human trafficking,
the drugs trade and illegal
fishing are all pressing
concerns for governments
and maritime organisations in
the region.

In addition to the increase in
non-traditional threats, such
as the smuggling of narcotics,
together with the growing
military might of China, it’s never been more important for the countries in SE Asia to
expand and maintain a robust maritime security presence. Not only this, but nations in the
region – including their Navies and the often numerous Coast Guard organisations – must
also begin to work together towards common goals to neutralise these threats.

Offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) are the most in-demand platform globally and represent
the fastest growing segment of the naval market. The total number of OPVs in operation
worldwide increased from 681 to 776 in the last year. Of that total, Asia makes up the
largest portion of the OPV holdings accounting for 44%. The region also has the largest
portion of OPVs on order (46%). Japan and India have 50% of the Asian vessels between
them, while India alone has 26% of the total vessels on order worldwide.

Key priorities for maritime agencies in the region centre around interoperability of
equipment and increased information sharing. The development of trust between
international bodies is therefore vital to engender better cooperation and allow wider
access to the SE Asia common operating picture.

This report has been produced ahead of the 12th Annual Maritime Security and Coastal
Surveillance conference (1 - 2 Dec, 2015 – Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur) and details all the
known holdings and requirements for a number of maritime surviellance assets. This
includes OPVs, surface warships, maritime ISR assets and UAVs.
