Peruvian Navy Makassar-Class LPD BAP Pisco pictured during commissioning on June 6th 2018.
The design of the Pisco was carried out by South Korea's Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering in collaboration with Peru's state owned shipyard, SIMA.The class originally was developed in the early-2000s for the Indonesian Navy.
Peru paid a contract of $60 million to construct the Pisco, constructed in Peru by SIMA with the management oversight cooperation from Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering.
Pisco's design includes accommodation of 157 crew members and up to 400 marines. The well deck can handle two 23-meter Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel while an additional cargo deck in the ship can hold up to 14 LAV II vehicles,which Peru had recently acquired from Canada in mid-2016. The flight deck of the Pisco has the capability to hold two Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King helicopters of the Peruvian Naval Aviation while an incorporated hanger can store an additional helicopter.The ship uses a roll-on/roll-off system, and can reportedly transport 450 troops for up to 30 days.
