In brief
The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration FMV has ordered 22 combat boats from Saab for about 900 million Swedish kronor. The order was booked by the company in the second quarter of 2025, and the boats will be built at the Saab shipyard in Docksta. The previous FMV order from June 2024 covered ten combat boats. Mats Wicksell, head of Saab's Kockums business area, described the contract as a significant strengthening of Sweden's naval capabilities.
The combat boats will be produced at Saab’s Docksta shipyard, a long-standing facility specializing in advanced naval platforms. Deliveries are scheduled to take place continuously over the coming years.
- This order represents a substantial boost to Sweden’s maritime defense. We are proud that Saab’s combat boats continue to play a vital role in strengthening the country’s security, said Mats Wicksell, head of Saab’s business area Kockums.
The Docksta shipyard has been manufacturing combat boats for the Swedish Armed Forces since the late 1980s. Over the decades, hundreds of units have been produced for both domestic use and export markets. The most recent order from Sweden was placed in June 2024, comprising ten combat boats.
These versatile combat boats support a wide range of missions, including coastal patrol, rapid troop transport, and special operations. Their advanced design and multi-role capability make them a key asset in modern naval defense.
