W&O Supply has signed a framework agreement with Damen Naval to supply valves, filters and instrumentation for the construction of German Navy’s multi-purpose combat vessel.

W&O Europe, supplier of valves, actuation, and instrumentation to the global maritime industry, has today proudly announced a framework agreement with Damen Naval to supply manual valves, filters, and other specialized instrumentation for the Frigate Class 126 construction program. The four F126 frigates are being built by Damen Naval for the German Navy at shipyards in Hamburg, Kiel and Wolgast.

W&O Europe joins an international group of companies from across Europe that are working cooperatively on the project. W&O Europe’s project team, based in the Netherlands, will work closely with Damen Naval’s design and engineering teams to provide technical expertise and advice on product selection for the new Frigate program. 

Providing advice on product selection to ensure the supply of the correct products for the project, ensures essential operational safety and mitigates against the risk of downtime. W&O Europe will partner with Damen Naval to assure that all the products supplied by W&O and installed on the vessels will be fully compliant with the required standards and, if necessary, be shock and vibration tested. 

Commenting on the agreement, Kristof Adam, Managing Director, W&O Europe said: “The W&O project team in Europe has many years of experience in Navy projects executed in different European countries. Damen Naval and their customers have very high standards of quality for the products they require, and we are proud that they have placed their trust in W&O as a reliable partner for the F126 Frigate project. We look forward to working with Damen Naval and their contractor partners to provide technical support and to ensure smooth and safe delivery of the correct products fit for purpose and installation.”

The F126 Frigate Project is a multi-year construction project for European multi-purpose combat ships. The W&O team will apply their technical expertise and experience working on military specified projects to ensure the efficient and reliable supply of valves, filters and instrumentation to the project.
