The contract with the Danish Patrol Ships K/S consortium will see the country field new vessels based on Odense Maritime Technology’s (OMT) MPV80 design – as predicted by Shephard.
Danish Patrol Ships K/S will act as a turnkey supplier for the Danish MoD.
The design contract will form the basis for a planned decision on the acquisition and construction of new ships.
The final design for the highly modular for the highly modular MPV80-based ships is expected to be in place by mid-2025.
The new ships will ultimately replace Denmark’s Thetis-class ocean-going patrol vessels.
