The company previously supported the Norwegian Defence Logistics Organisation in providing independent client advice on a wide range of topics and issues related to their submarine programmes, including feasibility studies into the Ula-class service life extension programme.

The Norwegian Government decided on Germany as strategic partner for the new submarines' common purchase and lifetime management in February, and the German Navy has announced plans to procure two identical vessels as part of a long-term navy-to-navy cooperation initiative.
