Ukraine and Denmark have agreed to implement a project for the construction of multipurpose vessels at Ukrainian production facilities.
On December 18, the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine and the Ministry of Defense of the Kingdom of Denmark signed a Memorandum on cooperation and development of the maritime potential of Ukraine.
The MIU announced this on its Facebook page .
Production will be completely localized on the territory of our country, and more than 50% of the volume of orders will be fulfilled by Ukrainian enterprises.
“Ukraine has great potential for the development of shipbuilding – this is access to the largest navigable rivers in Eastern Europe, and the formed port infrastructure, and most importantly, the existing shipbuilding capacities. Future Ukrainian-Danish ships will be built at a plant in Ukraine using advanced experience in the design of our Danish partners, as well as modern equipment. I look forward to the development of our cooperation with the Kingdom of Denmark, especially in promising and high-tech projects, “said Deputy Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Yuriy Vaskov.
The project will be implemented with the support of the Danish government and the Danish Export Credit Agency (EKF). The vessels will be designed by Danish companies in accordance with the customer’s requirements.
Completion of the first MPV80 is expected by 2024. It will be able to perform dozens of functions, including search and rescue operations. The vessel will be equipped with advanced specialized equipment from Danish manufacturers.

Nice to see some good news about the future for Ukraine!
Great! 🇺🇦🇩🇰
They will not burn on the shipbuilding yard like in The Russia, and not 9 years to build one like in The Russia.
Amazing to see Denmark helping Ukraine with a military project. I thought that the Danes are Putlerites.
No. You did not think that. You read too many British articles. You know, the country storing ruSSian money in its banks…
They did help engineer the Moskali bridge in Kerch and allowed NS2 through their waters too. I guess we can wait and see what happens with MH17 too. They should be pissed at Putin instead of helping him imo…
