ROTTERDAM, Netherlands -- Dutch naval engineering firm Nevesbu has signed a contract with Naval Group for subsystem design for the Royal Netherlands Navy’s new Orka-class submarines. Nevesbu will apply its long-standing expertise in compact, low-noise systems used for submarine stealth in support of Naval Group’s prime design work. Nevesbu has contributed to every Dutch submarine design over the past 90 years.

The company joins Team Orka, a consortium of Dutch industry partners working with Naval Group under an Industrial Cooperation Agreement with the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs. The Orka class project envisions the development of four advanced diesel-electric submarines for the Royal Netherlands Navy, replacing the aging Walrus class. Naval Group's bid, a diesel-electric variant of its Barracuda class design, was selected in September 2024. The first of the new submarines is expected to be commissioned by 2035.
