Norway and the UK are considering a joint acquisition of up to 30 new Joint Commando Craft for coastal operations to enhance defense cooperation. The vessels will transport personnel and equipment under demanding conditions, offering improved speed, endurance, and situational awareness.

Each vessel will be up to 24 meters long, with a displacement of up to 60 tons, capable of operating independently for several days. A Request for Information has been issued to evaluate market options, including potential solutions and production capacity in Norwegian shipyards. This initiative is part of the Lunna House Agreement, which aims to strengthen joint military capabilities and enhance security in strategic regions.
