Exportauftrag für die deutsche Rüstungsindustrie nach Australien:

Navy Offshore Patrol Vessels to be built in WA and SA by German company Luerssen

A German shipbuilding company has won the $3.5 billion contract to design and build Australia's next fleet of 12 Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs), with construction to be shared between shipyards in Western Australia and South Australia. The first two Luerssen-designed ships will be built in Adelaide by the Government-owned ASC Shipbuilding from the end of next year.

The remaining 10 OPVs will be built at the Austal shipyard at Henderson, south of Perth. [...] The West Australian Government welcomed the appointment of Luerssen and its commitment to jobs in the State. [...] The new OPV fleet will conduct intelligence and surveillance missions, search and rescue, humanitarian assistance, disaster relief and border protection patrols.
