Finnish Government, The German Navy is testing the compatibility of the Finnish Navy's Jurmo class landing craft with combat support ship FGS Frankfurt am Main in Helsinki on Monday, Finnish Defence Forces paper Ruotuväki reported on its website on Sunday.
“The Germans need this type of vessel and they are interested. Jurmo is one option,” the host of the naval visit, Commander Aimo Jokela, told Ruotuväki.
“One of the things we will establish is how many boats one can fit on the deck of the large combat support ship and in its cargo bays.”
Niko Haro, the chief executive of Marine Alutech, which manufactured the Finnish Navy's Jurmos, said the design could be easily converted to comply with Nato standards.
