Leadership in quality and performance

Our shipyards have completed hundreds of vessels for both the German Navy and fleets worldwide. Our skilled workforce unites this deep-rooted experience with the latest shipbuilding tools and technology to construct versatile and reliable naval vessels that can be rapidly deployed to fulfill demanding operational requirements. Using modular design techniques and benefiting from the know-how of the entire German naval shipbuilding sector, we supply advanced and capable naval vessels.

Our naval vessels are designed to be easy to operate and straightforward to maintain. Durable ships constructed to the latest naval standards can be customised to accommodate a wide range of cutting-edge weapons and sensors according to your operational needs. All are constructed to achieve excellent seakeeping and good manoeuvrability. Other priorities are the incorporation of high levels of survivability and the provision of good standards of accommodation. This ensures your crews are well protected and capable of sustaining optimum levels of efficiency, even during arduous deployments.

A comprehensive solution

Our portfolio of naval vessels is intended to cover a broad spectrum of mission requirements and to cater for all budgets. We build naval vessels equipped to prevail in high-intensity combat operations and also vessels optimised for surveillance and interception duties against low-intensity threats. Whether you need to patrol and protect your EEZ or undertake stabilisation and combat operations away from home waters, we have the answer.

At Rheinmetall Naval Systems, we pride ourselves in the comprehensive nature of the service we provide. We offer the choice of building your ships in our modern and efficient German yards or working in partnership to expand the capabilities of your own industry through licensed construction under our guidance. Our services team offers a full range of support solutions, ensuring your ships remain fit to deploy throughout their working lives.

Rheinmetall Naval Systems builds more than just ships – we build naval solutions.

Market-available products through advance performance in development

The demands on maritime industry are growing – personal responsibility and a willingness to establish developments in advance are required in order to provide market-available and demand-oriented naval vessels. We fulfil these requirements by developing innovative products on our own initiative, taking into account both international NATO standards and specific national requirements.

Based on 150 years of experience in naval shipbuilding, we have created a versatile ship design: the NTV 130. With its capabilities as a multi-functional support vessel and ‘mothership’, the NTV 130 fulfils the demanding requirements of operational areas in the Baltic Sea, North Sea and North Atlantic waters.
