the Singaporean Endurence class is nice, 6000T, but it maybe a little too big, 141 metres, that and it has a well deck, but a nice ship all the same

Yes, its a very nice ship too. Many in NZ thought Singapore's Endeavour class was in the lead, but their government went in a different direction. New Zealand had 21 different tenders, I wonder how many Ireland will receive? Frankly, I liked the Italian baby flat tops best, but they were too big and more expensive.
I think the Irish naval service has the MEKO 200 MRV in their sights. I just don't know if the army thinks its large enough. We do know several Irish defence personnel looked over the Merwede MRV in Rotterdam, and the Dutch allowed Irish forces to use their Enforcer type Rotterdam in Liberia.
In my mind the HDW 8000 ton ship is very similar with the NZ MRV, similar size with similar lane meters.
So far, I haven't seen any specifications from the Irish army....Last edited by Sea Toby; 10 January 2007, 20:17.

Dail Debates.
The Department is examining the question of the capacity of one or more of the new ships it is acquiring to get involved in humanitarian missions and it will be discussed in the course of the tender negotiations. We would like to have at least one ship adapted for humanitarian work.

Another type:
MULTI ROLE VESSEL FOR AN OVERSEAS NAVY
Armstrong Technology has produced a concept design for a twin screw Multi-Role Vessel to be built to commercial standards and capable of amphibious operations (including landing troops and vehicles by landing craft, helicopter or alongside) helicopter operations; disaster relief and humanitarian aid.

Well the Figures mentioned suggest some leeway:
The cost of the three new ships ranges from €160 million at the lower end of the scale to €190 million at the upper end.
