TAIS Shipyards and Qatari Barzan Holdings announced the signing of a MoU during the DIMDEX 2026 defence exhibition, covering cooperation on frigate projects.
TAIS Shipyards stated that the MoU with Qatar’s defence firm cluster Barzan Holdings covers frigate projects. Furthermore, Barzan Holdings stated that a deal with TAIS Shipyards was signed for the Indonesian Armed Forces valued at $1 billion.
TurDef has learned that a royalty fee will be paid due to the Project Design Office’s ownership of the design rights.

Other Turkish firms that signed contracts with Barzan Holdings during DIMDEX 2026 are STM (UAVs and UUVs), ASELSAN (Expansion of BARQ JV), ASFAT, and MKE.
