Sweden orders 22 additional combat boats from Saab in deal worth 900 million SEK

The boats will be produced at Saab’s Docksta shipyard, with deliveries scheduled to take place continuously over the coming years. Saab’s combat boats are advanced platforms designed for a wide range of mission types.

“This order represents a significant addition to Sweden’s naval capabilities. We are proud that Saab’s combat boats continue to contribute to Sweden’s defence,” said Mats Wicksell, head of Saab’s business area Kockums.

The Docksta facility has been manufacturing combat boats for the Swedish Armed Forces since the late 1980s. Hundreds of boats from the shipyard have since been delivered to both Sweden and international customers.

The most recent prior order from Sweden was placed in June 2024, when ten combat boats were commissioned. This latest procurement reflects a continued investment in enhancing national defence capacity.
