The company's proposal will provide robust equipment to the 12 Cazaminas Ships (MCMV) for the Belgian Navy and the Royal Dutch Navy

Naval Group and Kership, a joint venture between Piriou and Naval Group, have selected Baliño's proposal and design to supply the new lines of tail and main propellers for the 12 Cazamina Ships (MCMV) for the Belgian Navy and the Royal Dutch Navy.

The new MCMV vessels will have strong state-of-the-art equipment to combat various threats such as mines, piracy, terrorism and to carry out missions such as the interception of maritime traffic and the monitoring of territorial waters. These ships equipped with drones systems are essential for the future operations of the Belgian and Dutch Navy to protect maritime routes and contribute to safer seas worldwide.

The axle lines and main components have been designed by Baliño and will be produced in the factory of Vigo... in addition, the propellers, designed by Vicus DT engineering company of the Emenasa Group and will be merged in Fundidia in Vilagarcía de Arousa (Spain), a company that also belongs to the Group. Thanks to the experience of Baliño and Vicus DT and its modern facilities, we have met all the requirements of Naval Group and Kership.

Baliño with over 60 years of experience in high-end propulsion systems for the naval and military industry has provided over a thousand propulsion systems throughout the world. "We are proud to equip the 12 ships of the Belgian and Dutch Armed Forces with our propulsion system, this contract is an additional strategic opportunity for Baliño and the whole Emenasa Group to be part of this important European project and to consolidate our position on the market. " Carlos Alonso, Director General of the Emenasa Group.
