The Pulau Fani class is a class of mine countermeasures vessels in service with the Indonesian Navy. Built by Abeking & Rasmussen, the class design is based on the Frankenthal-class minehunter.[1]

Ships of the class have a length of 61.4 m (201 ft 5 in), a beam of 11.1 m (36 ft 5 in) and draft of 3.3 m (10 ft 10 in).[2] They have a displacement of 1,444 tonnes (1,421 long tons).[3] The vessels are powered by two MAN 12V175D-MM diesel engines with each having 2,220 kW (2,980 shp) at 1,900 rpm, connected to MAN Alpha controllable-pitch twin screw-propeller system with Alphatronic 3000 propulsion-control system. The ships also has an AKA hybrid PTI pure electric system for silent minehunting operation.[4] They have a maximum speed of 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph) and cruising speed of 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph).[2] The ships hull was built with non-magnetic steel supplied from France. The class has a complement of 48 crew.[5]

The Pulau Fani class is armed with a single 20 mm Oerlikon Searanger 20 remote weapon system.[6] For mine hunting purpose, the class are equipped with two 9 meters optionally-crewed Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull (SWATH) vessels, a retractable multibeam echo sounder and degaussing system.[5]
