▶ The HDL-13000 design is being proposed for the Royal Malaysian Navy's Multi-Role Support Ship (MRSS) acquisition project.

It has a length overall of 160 meters, a beam of 25 meters and a displacement of 13,000 tons. This vessel is intended to serve as a main platform for the force’s logistics support and also Humanitarian and Disaster Relief operation.

The most prominent aspect of the design configuration is the enclosed Vehicle Deck that runs the length of the vessel from the bow to the stern which can carry more than 16 Main Battle Tanks and 6 Multirole Armored Vehicles. The aft portion of the Vehicle Deck also serves as a Well Deck.

A sideport ramp and a stern gate provide access to the Vehicle Deck. The well deck can accommodate landing craft that can be used to transfer personnel, vehicles, and/or cargo to and from the shore.

The main gun of the ship is a 76mm naval gun system by Leonardo in the Strales variant meaning it can fire guided anti-air ammunition.
