HD Hyundai and SIMA Unveil HDS-MGP Submarine Vision for Peruvian Navy
HD Hyundai Heavy Industries and Peru's SIMA Shipyard have presented the HDS-MGP (Hyundai Design Submarine – Marina de Guerra del Perú) next-generation submarine design, aiming to establish a regional submarine construction and MRO hub in Latin America. The announcement followed the successful completion of the basic design phase. The event, held on July 14, 2026, at the Peruvian Navy Headquarters, showcased progress in the joint development program. The HDS-MGP is a 65-meter, 1,500-ton submarine tailored to Latin American maritime conditions, incorporating Peruvian Navy operational experience. HD Hyundai aims to enable SIMA to independently construct and maintain the submarines, fostering a self-sustaining industrial ecosystem. The partnership began with a joint production contract in April 2024 for four naval vessels, followed by a submarine MoU in November 2024 and a formal joint development agreement in December 2025. The BALOG amphibious vessel is scheduled for launch this year, while the submarine program moves toward a joint construction contract.
