BLUF

Carbon fibre significantly reduces upper structure weight and improves stability, while a composite design lowers radar visibility and reduces long-term maintenance costs. International manufacturing combined Swedish production with Singaporean assembly expertise. First vessel due 2028.

Learning Outcomes

  • Technology Awareness: Explains how carbon fibre composites improve structural performance, reduce maintenance requirements, and provide greater flexibility for future upgrades. 
  • Innovation: Demonstrates how international collaboration and advanced manufacturing techniques help industry develop new capabilities and deliver increasingly complex engineering projects.
  • Strategic Thinking: Shows how modular design and adaptable platforms support long-term planning as operational requirements and technologies continue to evolve.
