TAIPEI \u2014 The inaugural Kaohsiung International Maritime and Defence Expo<\/a> will be Aug. 25-28 in the southern port city of Kaohsiung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The southern port city of Kaohsiung is also home to Taiwan’s biggest naval base, Tsoying Naval Base, and the Taiwan Navy has been pushing hard for a domestic ship build\u00a0program that will include up to eight conventional attack submarines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US defense contractors, such as BAE, Lockheed Martin and\u00a0Raytheon, and Rolls-Royce have been invited, and show organizers are awaiting a response, said Tiffany Chou, the exhibition’s public relations organizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The navy is going forward on the Indigenous Defense Submarine (IDS) program and all US defense contractors have a potential market share of the program, said a senior Taiwan Navy officer. Taiwan’s only two combat-operational submarines\u00a0are Dutch-built Zwaardvis-class subs acquired in the late 1980s. It also\u00a0has two of the oldest submarines in operation\u00a0\u2014 two Guppy-class submarines acquired in the early 1970s that served at the end of World War II. These submarines are described as training platforms, not operational ones. The Guppys will be retired soon and the Zwaardvis “urgently” need refurbishing, said the navy officer, and US defense contractors will be bidding on that contract, as well, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition will feature a variety of commercial and military wares: amphibious task force equipment, combat systems, communications, construction, engineering, green port technology, machinery, platform equipment, propellers, radar, shafting, ship design, telemetry\u00a0and underwater operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show is being organized by the Taiwan Shipbuilding Industry Association, with local shipbuilders and suppliers participating, including\u00a0China Shipbuilding Corporation (CSBC-Taiwan)<\/a>,\u00a0Ching Fu Shipbuilding<\/a>,\u00a0Jong Shyn Shipbuilding<\/a>,\u00a0Lung-Teh Shipbuilding<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0San Yang Shipbuilding<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taiwan’s naval building program has included a variety of new platforms built by local companies. CSBC-Taiwan builds the stealthy 170-ton Kuang Hua-6 guided-missile patrol boat and the 10,000-ton AOE-532 Pan-shi fast combat support ship. Lung Teh builds the stealthy Tuo Jiang-class<\/a> catamaran corvettes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show will be at the Kaohsiung Exhibition Center and there will be tours of Taiwan naval vessels at the nearby port facilities. The exhibition will be accepting applications for exhibitor space until May 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
