The Spanish shipyard, Navantia S.A. has commissioned Siemens Marine Solutions fortwo new multi-functional supply ships with pod propulsion units and powersupply equipment. The main propulsion systems consist of two pod propulsion units per ship, with an output of 11 mw. The pods will be fitted outside the ship's hull-increasing the ship's transport capacity and allowing a more flexible design of the engine room and stern. The ships will be used by the Aus-trailian Navy to improve the range of its amphibian development capabilities.
