The ocean going research vessel, I suspect will replace the early vessels from Baruna Jaya research vessels. They are also build in France, alltough by CMN instead of Piriou. Still Piriou actually the one that have more exposures on research vessels (Ocean going and Coastal). Thus the choices understandable, as it is not first time being done.
We don't know yet the detail, the contract for KRI Canopus also build by Abeking-Rasmussen but they then sub contract the hull to local shipyard as part of Tech Transfer requairement. Besides outsourcing the hull to cheaper costs shipyard in Batam also reduce the costs from main supplier.
