Main article: Makassar-class landing platform dock

Indonesia signed a US$150 million contract in December 2004[1] and the first two units were built in Busan, South Korea. The remaining two were built at Indonesia's PT PAL shipyard in Surabaya with assistance from Daesun. The contract for the 3rd and 4th LPD to be built in Indonesia was signed with PT PAL on March 28, 2005.

On 19 October 2006, the first of the two Indonesian-built units was laid down in a ceremony by Admiral Slamet Subiyanto, Chief of Staff, Indonesian Navy.[2] The 3rd and 4th units had been designed to function as flagships with provision for a command and control system, 57mm gun and air defence systems.

The 5th ship was ordered by the Indonesian navy on January 11, 2017.[3] The first steel cutting ceremony for this ship was conducted on April 28, 2017.[3] The ship's keel was laid on August 28. 2017.[4]
