Construction and career

The construction of the ship started with the first steel cutting ceremony on 10 September 2020. [1] Its keel was laid on 21 January 2021. [2] KRI dr. Radjiman Wedyodiningrat was named and launched in a ceremony on 15 August 2022. The ceremony was attended by Chief of Staff of the Indonesian Navy Admiral Yudo Margono along with other Indonesian Navy officers, government and related companies officials, and relatives of Rajiman Wediodiningrat. [3] On 16–19 December, the ship underwent sea acceptance tests in the Java Sea. [4] dr. Radjiman Wedyodiningrat was commissioned on 19 January 2023 at Bandar Barat Pier, PAL Indonesia in Surabaya. [5]

On 9 November 2023 the ship began preparations for a possible deployment to aid Palestinians during the 2023 Israeli invasion and bombing of the Gaza Strip. [6]

On 21 November 2023 the Chief of Staff of the Indonesian Navy, Admiral Muhammad Ali, told journalists that the dr. Radjiman Wedyodiningrat is in the process of being repainted white. The white coloring is in accordance with the IV Geneva Convention and The San Remo Manual on International Law Applicable to Armed Conflicts at Sea. [7] The repainting was carried out by PAL at the Irian Graving Dock, PT PAL, Surabaya, East Java, and the ship lowering or undocking process was carried out on 24 November. [8] [9]

After repainting, on 27 November the Indonesian Navy began the loading of humanitarian aid into this ship at the Indonesian 2nd Fleet Command (Koarmada II) dock, Surabaya, East Java. This assistance was collected both from government assistance, as well as the result of collaboration between various parties including business people, humanitarian institutions, volunteer organizations and civil society to further carry out humanitarian missions to areas near Palestine. [10]

On 30 November 2023, this ship arrived at the Military Sealift Command (Kolinlamil) Pier, Tanjung Priok, Jakarta, after sailing from Surabaya. Colonel Bayu from the Indonesian Navy said that this ship is ready to sail across the ocean to Palestinian waters, but the departure of this hospital aid ship is still waiting for government instructions. Because Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi is still lobbying with the Egyptian government as a country that borders Israel. [11]
