New submarine quay commissioned at Karlskrona naval base
A newly constructed submarine quay has officially been put into service at the Karlskrona naval base, marking a significant upgrade in Sweden’s undersea support infrastructure. The project was delivered in record time by the Swedish Defence Fortifications Agency, Fortifikationsverket.
In brief
The Swedish defence infrastructure agency Fortifikationsverket has commissioned a new specialised submarine quay at the naval base in Karlskrona. The quay in Karlskrona will accommodate both future Swedish submarines and vessels of allied nations. Captain (Navy) Martin Göth, commander of the base, stressed that the investment is part of the capability to efficiently receive and service various ship systems. Karlskrona is gaining the status of one of the key hubs of submarine infrastructure in the Baltic Sea.
The facility is designed to accommodate both Sweden’s future submarine platforms and allied naval units, reflecting the country’s growing role within collective maritime defence structures.
According to the Navy Base Command, the development enhances Sweden’s ability to host and support a wide range of submarine systems in an efficient and operationally resilient manner.
- This is part of our core mission as an allied nation – to be able to receive and support multiple naval platforms effectively, said Commander Martin Göth, head of the naval base.
The investment further strengthens Karlskrona’s position as a key Baltic Sea hub for submarine operations and allied maritime logistics.
