Very likely to be a flatdeck testbed platform ship seen in a tender announcement document from September 2022. Pretty good chances that fixed-wing UAVs will be operated from this ship.

Matching details include:
- Overall (flight deck) length of 200 meters;
- Beam/flight deck width of nearly 40 meters; and
- Twin island superstructures.

The only things still unverified as of present are the presence of a well deck to the aft and a hangar deck to the fore of the ship.

More recently, the flatdeck is getting coated. Seen from a satellite photo of the same location earlier this month:
