Palfinger Marine press release

The PALFINGER MARINE developed Slipway Systems are proven means of launching and recovering boats at sea, eliminating the use of any mechanical connection such as lifting solutions or hooks during operations. This minimizes the need for manual assistance and thus also the risk for potentially critical situations during launch and recovery operations.

A Reliable Partner 

PALFINGER MARINE has been awarded a contract by Singapore’s Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) to supply Slipway Systems for the Republic of Singapore Navy's (RSN) six Multi-Role Combat Vessels (MRCV). The vessels, which are being built by Singapore shipbuilder ST Engineering Marine Ltd, will each be fitted with two large PQBS-SR Slipway Systems and stern doors supplied by PALFINGER MARINE. 

The delivery of the slipway systems is scheduled from 2026 to 2031, followed by a long-term service agreement providing lifetime support from PALFINGER MARINE.
