THE DNA OF SHIPBUILDING

NVL stands for Naval Vessels Lürssen and is an independent, privately owned group of renowned Northern German shipyards and related companies, formerly known as Lürssen Defence.

The new build of naval vessels and coastguard vessels is what we do at NVL Group – and that’s not all. Whatever your requirement, we build high-quality ships that provide superior levels of performance – and then sustain this performance throughout their life cycles with the expertise of NVL Services. Our dedicated team ensures your vessels are in good shape for deployment when you give the command.

DELIVERING A FULLY INTEGRATED VESSEL

The integration of all on-board systems – including command and control equipment, weapons, sensors, the propulsion plant and ship services – is an important part of our construction process. We focus on the effective interaction of each individual system within a design’s overall architecture to ensure that your ship operates as a completely integrated entity. At NVL Group, we also make certain that your vessel will operate seamlessly with existing fleet assets as well as with ships from other navies during joint operations.

The OPV features medium-calibre guns for use against sea targets and for land firing support.
A spacious flight deck can deploy an UAS and/or helicopters weighing up to 11 tons. OPV 85 and OPV 90 provides a fixed hangar for a second helicopter or for equipment with UAS.
A 3D-search radar can scan the environment for potential threats.
Without stopping the mother ship, up to four RHIBs can be deployed and retrieved via a stern ramp, which provides flexibility in any scenario.
