Abstract

The Dutch Ministry of Defence has the ambition to reduce its dependency on fossil fuels in order to improve the effectiveness of its operations and reduce its impact on the environment. At the same time, the diversity of current threats during maritime operations require ships that are more silent, that manoeuvre better and require less maintenance.
