Kongsberg Maritime wins record waterjet order for Indian Navy project

The systems will be supplied to Cochin Shipyard for an Indian naval project.

Kongsberg Maritime has secured its largest-ever single waterjet contract, marking a return to large-scale production after a quieter decade.

The contract involves the supply of advanced waterjet propulsion systems for a naval project currently under construction at Cochin Shipyard Limited for the Indian Navy.

Cochin Shipyard said it expects high-quality and reliable delivery, citing a strong track record of cooperation with Kongsberg Maritime.

Anders Valkeinen, Vice President for High-Speed Craft at Kongsberg Maritime, said the contract reflects confidence in the company’s waterjet technology for demanding naval use. “Our Kamewa waterjets will deliver the speed, agility, and reliability required for these advanced missile vessels.”

Meanwhile, Anette Holte, Country Manager for India, said the deal reinforces the company’s commitment to India and its naval programs. “This contract underlines our dedication to growing our presence in India and delivering world-class technology for critical defence programmes.”

Delivery will follow the construction schedule of the vessels at Cochin Shipyard.
