Service history[]

KRI Teluk Kupang was built by an Indonesian state-owned shipbuilder PT Dok & Perkapalan Kodja Bahari (Persero) (also called DKB), Jakarta. The ship was ordered in 2012, based on AT-117M design that would become the Teluk Bintuni-class ships.[4] Her building process was ceremonially begun with the first steel-cutting on 31 July 2012,[2] and she was assigned with yard number of AT-2.[5]

Due of internal problems faced by the shipbuilder, her construction was delayed.[6] She was finally launched on 17 January 2017 in a ceremony at DKB dockyard in North Jakarta.[7] She was transferred to the Navy and commissioned on 7 December 2020, with Sea Lieutenant Colonel Suryai as her first commanding officer.[1][8]
