The Dutch Walrus-class replacement program reached an important milestone according to the ministry of defense (MoD) of the Netherlands.
One year after the Dutch MoD announced a delay, the submarine replacement program reached an important milestone. The announcement was made today by the Dutch MoD.
Defense has reached an important milestone in the submarine replacement project. The quote request is ready. This application will be sent to the 3 candidate yards in mid-November 2022. The yards are then expected to send their bids around the summer of 2023. The Ministry of Defense needs a few months to analyze these bids and then make a decision about the award. State Secretary Christophe van der Maat wrote this to the House of Representatives today.
The four in-service Walrus-class submarine will be replaced with four next generation diesel-electric submarines. The three competing shipyards are Naval Group, Saab Kockums and Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems. The down-selection of the three companies was announced via the B-letter in December 2019. The four submarines are now expected to be in service in the 2030ies.
Dutch State Secretary for Defence reiterated the importance of the program.
