The Arafura class was developed from the Darussalam OPV built for Brunei. Two boats were to be built at Osborne in Adelaide on the south-east coast and the other four at Civmec in Henderson\/Perth in the west with technology transfer from L\u00fcrssen. Civmec was chosen as the Australian subcontractor, even though<br \/>\nAustralia would have preferred to see Austal in the job. After the project was severely delayed and classified as a \"project of concern\" at the end of 2023, NVL sold its share to Civmec at the end of 2024 and withdrew.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42649\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42649\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-42649 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1a-aus-pp-Arafura-Launch-1-dod_aus-Kopie.jpg\" alt=\"Arafura, Photo: MinDef Australia\" width=\"1920\" height=\"917\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1a-aus-pp-Arafura-Launch-1-dod_aus-Kopie.jpg 1920w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1a-aus-pp-Arafura-Launch-1-dod_aus-Kopie-300x143.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1a-aus-pp-Arafura-Launch-1-dod_aus-Kopie-1024x489.jpg 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1a-aus-pp-Arafura-Launch-1-dod_aus-Kopie-768x367.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1a-aus-pp-Arafura-Launch-1-dod_aus-Kopie-1536x734.jpg 1536w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1a-aus-pp-Arafura-Launch-1-dod_aus-Kopie-18x9.jpg 18w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1a-aus-pp-Arafura-Launch-1-dod_aus-Kopie-1080x516.jpg 1080w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1a-aus-pp-Arafura-Launch-1-dod_aus-Kopie-750x358.jpg 750w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1a-aus-pp-Arafura-Launch-1-dod_aus-Kopie-1140x544.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42649\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Arafura, Photo: MinDef Australia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When the contract was signed in early 2018, it looked like a simple construction project, but no sooner had construction begun than the Royal Australian Navy seemed to have lost faith in these boats due to a strategic realignment. The four sea target guns were cancelled, as was the 57mm cannon, and the 40mm cannon intended as a replacement was also sacrificed in favour of the 25mm Typhoon guns taken from reserve units. Such interventions in the construction process break the back of a project - we know this only too well! Result: After its launch in 2021, the first boat was able to begin its acceptance trials in mid-2024 - three years behind schedule! The boat is now under-armed for naval tasks and too expensive for civilian services. Understandably, NVL no longer wants to identify with so much \"bungling\"<br \/>\nand hopefully pulls the ripcord in time. As is well known, France was also bluntly run into the wall with the submarine construction programme.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Es nennt sich \"Project Sea 1180\" und umfasst sechs (optional zw\u00f6lf) OPV von 80 Metern L\u00e4nge und 1.700 Tonnen Verdr\u00e4ngung \u2013 geordert bei Naval Vessels L\u00fcrssen (NVL).
