The construction of the future German frigate class is making good progress. The client and shipyard are cooperating at a high level. The F 126 project - formerly MKS 180 - reached the most important milestone in its realisation to date on 19 June 2020 after a multi-year award procedure in the European competition: the conclusion of the construction contract with the Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding shipyard.
