Design: Aegir-18R
Independent Norwegian commercial tanker designer Skipskonsulent and naval design experts BMT Defence Services have teamed to offer navies the Aegir design family, an environmentally-responsible, affordable and low-risk replenishment at sea capability in purpose-designed new-build vessels. The Aegir twin skeg hull-form is based on a proven commercial design extending double-hull protection to bunkers as well as cargo tanks and holds. It is also capable of handling warships waste water discharges responsibly. The Aegir design is scalable and flexible; Aegir-18R represents a mid-size fleet support ship (Auxiliary Oiler Replenishment; AOR) variant of the design family. The commercial design rules applied to the Aegir family ensure local shipyards are able to build and support Aegir vessels.
