Custom-built ships

Multi-Role Auxiliary Vessels (MRAV)

Multi-Role Auxiliary Vessels

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. The Multi Role Auxiliary Vessel (MRAV) allows navies to switch from traditional one-to-one replacement of single-purpose ships to compact mission-adaptable auxiliaries.

Why a Damen MRAV?

  • Designed as one family, built for easy support

    The MRAV designs are developed on a common platform, with aligned systems and equipment. This reduces training needs and simplifies maintenance across the fleet.

  • Robust and versatile

    The largest version of the range is 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.

  • Flexibility via modularity

    A modular platform allows naval clients to react effectively to changes in the mission environment. This is achieved by combining the capabilities of specialised ships in one vessel through use of add-on equipment modules.

  • Commercial off-the-shelf equipment

    The MRAV range built to commercial standards, using widely available components. Applying robust commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment reduces the total cost of ownership without reducing the quality.

MRAV projects selection

Multi Role Auxiliary Vessel 660

For navies that need littoral survey, diving support, EOD and other auxiliary tasks from one compact platform, the MRAV 660 offers a modular alternative to replacing several ageing vessels. We have developed the vessel as an off-the-shelf design with shallow draught, commercial components and low crew requirements, helping clients reduce total costs of operation while keeping essential capability in service.

  • Shallow draught supports coastal and inland operations
  • One compact hull for multiple support roles
  • Container modules enable fast role changes
  • Reduced crew requirements helps lower operating costs
