Designed and built by Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding for the Royal Netherlands Navy, the Ocean-going Patrol Vessels (or Offshore Patrol Vessel - OPV) are flexible in their deployment and equipped for the surveillance of coastal waters. The ships are able to monitor a wide area (in excess of 100 nautical miles) using a Thales Integrated Sensor and Communication Systems (ISCS) or "IMAST 400". The mast is revolutionary in its design: for the first time, radar and communications antenna systems have been combined in a single construction. This allows the ship to spot flying and floating objects. The communications equipment in the mast makes it possible to conduct operations all over the world in cooperation with aircraft and other ships. The command centre is revolutionary in its concept. It is located behind the navigation bridge and is therefore referred to as the ‘command bridge aft’. It has windows, providing a direct view of what is happening outside during operations. The navigation bridge has also been configured according to a new concept: it is a one-man bridge. From this location, the ship can be fully operated and protected by 1 person. The propulsion plant consists of 2 main diesel engines of approx 5400 kW each. Alternatively electric propulsion can be chosen for low speed operations. To support interception operations, 2 large RHIB's and one NH-90 helicopter are boarded. The stern RHIB will be launched and recovered via a slipway in the stern.
