IRISH NAVAL SERVICE

Acquisitions and future

In October 2010, contracts were signed for two new "offshore patrol vessels" (OPVs). The contract provided an option for a third vessel – which was later taken-up. A fourth vessel in the same class was ordered in June 2016.[47] Constructed by Babcock Marine in the UK to VARD Marine's PV90 design, the first ship, Samuel Beckett, was delivered in May 2014. The second ship, James Joyce, was delivered in 2015.[48] The third, William Butler Yeats, was floated out in March 2016 and delivered later that summer.[25] A fourth, named George Bernard Shaw, was delivered in late 2018, and commissioned in April 2019.[41] These Samuel Beckett-class OPVs replace the older vessel classes, such as the Emer class.

A number of these purchases were informed by a Whitepaper on Defence which expected acquisition of three new naval vessels over 10 years from 2015 to 2025, As well as the acquired and ordered OPVs, the whitepaper covered a multi-role vessel (MRV) – which would be potentially enabled for helicopter operations and have a freight carrying capacity – to replace the flagship LÉ Eithne. In 2017, a delegation of DoD officials and members of the Defence Forces visited New Zealand to inspect the Royal New Zealand Navy's multi-role vessel HMNZS Canterbury; it was suggested that a vessel of this type, capable of accommodating and deploying a full infantry company either by landing craft or helicopter, and with a fully equipped hospital, was what the Defence Forces were looking for, for the type of military and humanitarian missions undertaken by Ireland. Plans expect that LÉ Ciara and LÉ Orla be replaced with similar vessels but with counter-mine and counter-IED capabilities.










In August 2021, an article in the Irish Examiner reported that the DoD is exploring the possibility of acquiring two former Royal New Zealand Navy Lake-class inshore patrol vessels. If acquired, it is speculated that these vessels will be based on the east coast and operate mainly in the Irish Sea with the primary role of fisheries protection in light of Brexit.[52]

Só para nós é que um NPL como o Canterbury não serve, tal é a nossa capacidade expedicionária...... :bang:

Acquisitions and future

..............In 2017, a delegation of Department of Defence (DoD) officials and members of the Defence Forces visited New Zealand to inspect the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN) multi-role vessel HMNZS Canterbury; it was suggested that a vessel of this type, capable of accommodating and deploying a full infantry company either by landing craft or helicopter, and with a fully equipped hospital, was what the Defence Forces were looking for, for the type of military and humanitarian missions undertaken by Ireland. Plans expected that LÉ Ciara and LÉ Orla be replaced with similar vessels, but with counter-mine and counter-IED capabilities. In August 2021, the Irish Examiner reported that the DoD was considering acquiring two former RNZN Lake-class inshore patrol vessels. If acquired, it was speculated that these vessels would be based on the east coast and operate mainly in the Irish Sea with the primary role of fisheries protection in light of Brexit.
By March 2022, the DoD had confirmed the acquisition of two such retired RNZN vessels, HMNZS Rotoiti and HMNZS Pukaki, for €26 million. The ships are due be transported from New Zealand to Ireland in 2023. The two vessels are intended to replace LÉ Orla and LÉ Ciara and reportedly require less crew to operate

Não tenho dúvidas que o INS, vai adquirir um NPL bem antes da nossa Marinha.

Irish Naval Service Disposing of Three Vessels

The Irish Naval Service will decommission three of its oldest vessels this week. Peacock class patrol boats LÉ Ciara and LÉ Orla, as well as the flagship LÉ Eithne, will formally leave Irish service on 8 July. Notably, all three vessels will be decommissioned without replacements in active Irish service.


LÉ Ciara and LÉ Orla were acquired second-hand from the United Kingdom in the 1980s, while LÉ Eithne was built especially for the Naval Service, entering service in 1984. All three vessels have been out of service for years as a result of a personnel crisis gripping the Irish Defence Forces.

There has been some speculation, which the Irish Department of Defence has not outright refuted, that the two Peacock class ships may be sold to the Philippine Navy. The Philippine Navy is the only other operator of the Peacock class, and acquiring the two Irish vessels may provide them with a valuable source of spare parts for the ageing vessels. The Irish DoD told Overt Defense that several options, including a government-to-government transfer, are being examined.   

“No final decisions have been made regarding the disposal of the three vessels post-decommissioning. Department officials are examining options to determine the most efficient and effective manner to dispose of the vessels.”

Whatever their eventual fate, the two ships will be replaced next year by two Lake class Inshore Patrol Vessels purchased from Aotearoa New Zealand. What will replace LÉ Eithne is much less clear.

The Irish Naval Service is currently early in the process of procuring a “Multi-Role Vessel” outfitted with rotary-wing aviation facilities and cargo-carrying capacity. The new vessel, which will also serve as the new flagship, will be able to support a variety of missions domestically and internationally according to the DoD.

“It is the intention that the new vessel will be able to contribute across a number of Defence roles, with a design specification capable of providing a flexible and adaptive capacity for a wide range of tasks, both at home and overseas. It is planned that it will be enabled for helicopter operations and will have a freight carrying capacity.”

While no details about possible contenders have been revealed by the DoD, Babcock International previously told Overt Defense that its Arrowhead 140 platform can “fulfil” Ireland’s requirements. Another possibility is that a strategic sealift vessel similar to HMNZS Canterbury could be constructed for the Irish Government.

Ireland moves towards procurement of new multirole vessel
25 JANUARY 2024 by Neil Dee

The Irish Department of Defence (DoD) has issued a prior information notice for the procurement of a new multirole vessel (MRV) for the Irish Naval Service (INS) on the European Union's (EU's) Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) portal.

The information notice, published on 23 January, moves the Irish government's plan to procure an MRV into a new phase. The new vessel is intended to replace the former flagship LÉ Eithne, which was decommissioned in 2022. The procurement is estimated to cost EUR300 million (USD326.46 million).

The notice does not provide details on planned specifications; however, it says the MRV should be “capable of providing a flexible and adaptive capacity for a wide range of maritime tasks, both at home and overseas”. It is also expected that the new vessel “will also be enabled for helicopter operations, freight/personnel carrying operations, and will be the flagship of the Irish naval fleet”.
