LINKÖPING, Sweden - Saab has received an order from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) to overhaul the submarine HMS Halland. The order covers the period 2014-2015 and is valued at SEK130 million ($18 million). The order is part of the letter of intent regarding the Swedish armed forces' underwater capability, which was announced in June 2014.
The overhaul includes all the necessary measures to ensure the submarine's operational availability. According to HMS Halland's standard maintenance plan this type of overhaul is conducted every six years. One provision of the contract is to define future needs for maintenance, which could result in additional work being contracted separately during the period.
Work based on the order will be carried during 2014 and 2015 at the Saab Kockums shipyard in Karlskrona. Saab Kockums is a business unit within Saab's business area Security and Defence Solutions.
