BAE Systems and Hamek Agree Future Maritime Collaboration
March 3, 2025 | BAE SystemsEstimated reading time: 1 minute

A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has been signed between BAE Systems and Hamek that will see the two companies work together to support Norway’s maritime requirements.
The signing was completed at an industrial collaboration event at Hamek’s Harstad site in the north of Norway, where the company plans to invest in its dry-docking and ship facilities. British and Norwegian defence and government delegates attended the event, which took place alongside Royal Navy ship RFA Lyme Bay.
Subject to the outcome of Norway’s procurement process for advanced maritime capability, in which the UK’s Type 26 frigate is being considered, BAE Systems and Hamek will explore enhanced ship support and maintenance solutions that could generate further economic benefit in the region.
“Norway and the UK share a strong maritime relationship built over decades of cooperation as close allies. This MOU enables us to build on our two-nations’ industrial relationship as Hamek develops its plans for facilities investment in support of the current and future Norwegian fleet,” said Bruce Balchin, Norway Campaign Director, BAE Systems.
“This MOU forms the basis for future growth and development of our company. Furthermore, implementation of the agreement will give Norway as a nation increased preparedness in the north,” said Jan Oddvar Olsen, Managing Director, Hamek.
