Special Purpose Vessels

There are virtually no limitations on the size and operational parameters of the special vessels Rheinmetall Naval Systems can build. We are able to supply fast troop carriers or high-endurance research ships capable of long-range deployment at a slower pace. The majority of missions can be performed by ships with lengths of up to 90 metres and displacements of up to 2,000 tonnes, but we can deliver larger vessels if these are called for. There is similar flexibility in design materials, with a choice between various grades of steel and aluminium depending on performance priorities.

The nature of the tasks our special purpose vessels can complete is as varied as their construction. For example, we can complete ships to assist crew training, to convey various combinations of troops, vehicles and stores, or to complete trials of new weapons and systems. Other popular requirements encompass search and rescue missions as well as hydrography and naval research. All our special ships are designed on the basis of listening carefully to customer needs and properly understanding your mission objectives and financial preferences. In all cases, you can be assured that we will provide a robust and dependable ship using certified materials, first-rate equipment and well-proven systems.
