Dutch shipbuilders plot survival course through OPV and special mission niche

Article Abstract:

The naval shipbuilding industry in the Netherlands finds itself without orders for major surface combatants for high-intensity warfighting even as competing shipbuilders in Europe are building next-generation frigates and/or destroyers in 2006. Hence, Dutch shipbuilders have developed innovative technologies and a strong market position in the niche area of special mission amphibious, command and mothership-type platforms by launching the Enforcer-line platforms and the hi-tech Sigma-line of offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) for survival.
