Following the accession to the Koç Group, two military logistics vessels were built and delivered to the Turkish Navy in 2000.

In 2006, the Ministry of National Defense awarded the tender for four "Coast Guard Search and Rescue Ships" for the Coast Guard Command, thus realizing the largest combat ship project ever undertaken in the Turkish private sector.
