Finnish Defence Forces – Squadron 2020 Project

We advised the Finnish Defence Forces Logistics Command in the Squadron 2020 project. Squadron 2020 is the Finnish Navy’s project that is aimed at replacing seven vessels that the Navy will decommission. These will be replaced by four modern corvettes. Rauma Marine Constructions Oy and RMC Defence Oy based in Rauma will construct four multi-purpose corvettes, called the Pohjanmaa Class, for the Squadron 2020 project. Saab AB from Sweden was selected as the  combat system supplier. The Pohjanmaa Class will form the backbone of the Finnish Navy’s capability and combat vessel fleet and is planned to remain in service until the 2050s. The total cost of the Squadron 2020 project is approx. EUR 1,300 million.
