TKMS said in a press release on 8 July that the U212A contract was the largest order in its history, valuing it at EUR5.5 billion (USD6.5 billion). The two contracts were signed as part of German-Norwegian co-operation. Signing the contracts on behalf of Norway, Director of Defense Materiel Mette Sørfonden said the agreements form “a solid basis for long-term co-operation between Norway and Germany”.
Construction of the first Norwegian U212CD is scheduled to begin in 2023, with delivery in 2029, according to the NDMA website. TKMS expected the two boats for the German Navy to be delivered in 2032 and 2034.
