Kongsberg Maritime has signed a contract to supply 18 large Kamewa waterjets for the Indian Navy’s Next Generation Missile Vessel (NGMV) program. Each of the vessels will feature waterjets, delivering speed and maneuverability for high-performance naval operations.

The NGMV fleet is being built by Cochin Shipyard Limited and will play a critical role in India’s maritime defense strategy.

This contract marks Kongsberg Maritime’s largest single waterjet order to date and signals a strong return to large waterjet manufacturing after a relatively quiet period over the past decade.

Delivery of the waterjets will align with the NGMV construction schedule at Cochin Shipyard.

Trite but true, the path to decarbonization has no ‘silver bullet’ solution.
