Spanish shipbuilder to support maintenance of Royal Norwegian Navy frigates

As OEM, Navantia will provide design and engineering support, as well as its knowledge of the platform, and will also undertake modernisation work and technical evolution of the ships, helping to ensure their operational availability and their adaptation to the Royal Norwegian Navy’s future needs.

This framework agreement is the third contract Navantia has in Norway related to sustaining the Fridtjof Nansen-class frigates, and it adds to those previously signed with the Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency, namely the follow on technical support contract, signed 13 years ago and currently in force, and the important modifications contract, signed in 2023 and currently under execution.
