Nimbus

In September last year, Nimbus Group signed an agreement with FMV regarding the development and production of a smaller workboat for the Swedish Armed Forces, valued at up to SEK 400 million over 15 years. The agreement includes several options for the delivery of boats and spare parts. The design approval means that Nimbus Group has passed the so-called CDR, Critical Design Review, and will now begin manufacturing the first units for upcoming sea trials.

The MSMB 200 is highly robust and seaworthy. The boat is built in aluminum, measures 11.2 meters in length, and is equipped with a powerful inboard engine. It has the capacity to transport two crew members and eight passengers with equipment. Nimbus Group won the MSMB 200 contract together with Svensk Konstruktionstjänst, and the agreement was signed with FMV.

“The MSMB 200 is based on Alukin’s fully welded aluminum constructions, and receiving design approval marks an important milestone for the project, which has brought significant attention to both Nimbus Group and our brand Alukin. Workboats are an interesting and growing segment in which Nimbus Group intends to increase its presence,” says Johan Inden, CEO of Nimbus Group.
