The common theme running through the MRAV series is the provision of a basic platform offering reliable and cost-effective multi role potential and survey capabilities. With the addition of supplementary modular mission equipment, this new family of vessels can be mobilised in numerous, mainly littoral, naval tasks such as: explosive ordnance clearance and disposal, diving operations, torpedo recovery and overhaul, ROV and UAV deployment, SAR, coastal infantry and submarine support.

The largest version of the range will be able to operate worldwide, on the ocean as well as in littoral waters. This ship has additional capabilities such as disaster and humanitarian relief, oceanography and naval training support.

The introduction of flexible concepts allows as many functions as possible to be included in the vessels’ scope without reducing the effectiveness and capacity of the fleet.

ADVANTAGES OF THE MRAV FAMILY

MODULARITY

One of Damen’s key aims with this new range of vessels is to reduce the pressure on a navy’s human and financial resources. The modularity of the mission modules plays a major part in the process. This is achieved by combining the capabilities of specialised ships in one ship by using add-on equipment modules. These can be fitted inside standard 10, 20 or 40 foot containers or have the footprint of a container. When operating multiple MRAV vessels, the efficiency of training, crew exchangeability and maintenance programmes is improved.

ECONOMICS

A modular platform is inherently flexible: this allows naval clients to better react to changes in the mission environment. Modularity also has implications on the cost of ownership; the lifetime of an individual vessel can be efficiently extended by upgrading capabilities with new equipment modules that are not integrated into the original design.The MRAV range is commercially built and also uses commercially available components. This is made possible because of the vessel's non-combatant role. Using robust commercial off-the-shelf equipment reduces the total cost of ownership without reducing the quality.

A FAMILY OF THREE SHIPS COVERING ALL GEOGRAPHIC PROFILES

MRAV 660

COASTAL (VERY) SHALLOW AND INLAND WATERS660 tonnes – 43 x 13 x 1.9 metres

With a draught of only 1.9 metres, the MRAV 660 is suited to very shallow coastal, riverine and inland water operations. In addition to shallow water hydrographic surveys, this vessel is capable of a comprehensive array of duties, such as diving operations, EOCD support, ROV and UAV deployment, with a core crew of 8 and capacity for an additional 15 specialists.The key design points maximise displacement, minimise resistance and optimise seakeeping characteristics for the area in which the ship will operate. To this end, the MRAV 660 has an aluminium superstructure and reduced freeboard section cut down on weight. Tunnel ducts on the underside of the hull ensure enough water reaches the propellers.

MRAV 1600

LITTORAL AND REGIONAL OFFSHORE1600 tonnes – 62 x 13 x 3.0 metres

The MRAV 1600 is designed for littoral and regional offshore operations. Its larger size allows for greater endurance and carrying capacity of both crew, mission modules and cargo. The vessel will be manned by a core crew of 13, with capacity for an additional 30 mission specialists. The main deck can hold six standard 20-foot mission containers and the below-deck cargo hold can store two 20-foot containers and palletised cargo.This medium-sized vessel can take on similar hydro-graphic and auxiliary duties to its smaller sister vessel, with the addition of torpedo recovery and overhaul tasks in support of submarines and anti-submarine warfare units. Small scale coastal transport and infantry support is also possible.

MRAV 3600

WORLDWIDE, LITTORAL AND OCEAN3600 tonnes – 85 x 16 x 5.0 metres

Intended for worldwide service, the capacity of the largest vessel in the range – the MRAV 3600 – allows for more than one specific mission during a deployment. Capable of hydrographic operations both in littoral and deeper waters, this vessel also has a helideck and substantial storage capacity for other mission configurations, equipment and cargo. Furthermore, the MRAV 3600 can serve as a base for more extensive operations such as disaster relief and at sea naval taskgroup training support. There is accommodation for 14 core and 45 additional mission crew and enough space on board to provide emergency hospital services for up to 50 people.
