Nimbus Group’s Alukin brand has, in partnership with Svensk Konstruktionstjänst (Svekon), won a framework agreement tender to develop and manufacture a small work boat for the Swedish armed forces.
The contract includes several options relating to up to 100 vessel deliveries over nine years as well as spare parts over 15 years.
The contract includes the development of a pre-series vessel over the next two years and subsequent series production of up to 100 vessels during the following seven-year period.
“Alukin’s fully welded aluminium boats are famous for their robust design and great durability,” said Jan-Erik Lindström, Nimbus Group CEO.
“The order confirms Nimbus Group’s ability to construct and produce boats that meet the highest standards in terms of technical specifications and quality.”

The MSMB 200 work boat will be constructed in aluminium and will be 10 meters in length and be fitted with a powerful inboard engine.
The vessel will have a capacity to transport two crew and eight passengers with kit, making it a flexible and effective tool in the armed forces’ marine operations.
After year three, the Swedish governmental organisation FMV can choose to let the agreement continue with two-year extension options that enable suborders to be called off for 15 vessels per year, or a total of 30 vessels per option period.
A total of 100 vessels could be ordered during the nine-year period of the contract.
If all suborders are called off, the total order value for Nimbus Group during the period of the contract will amount to around MSEK 400.
