Belgium is looking forward to the capability increase it will get with the new MCM flotilla.

For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

But doesn’t change the fact that Ciara and Orla have been in service for 31 years and have the worst standard of other ranks Accomodiation in the fleet.
If they go for an existing design (not necessarily in Irish service) the delivery process will take about 3 yearsLast edited by DeV; 1 June 2019, 11:04.

I think the Ciara and Orla replacements need to meet the provisional tasks as outlined in the White Paper. It must be a dependable provable system for dealing with modern anti-ship mining. Such units should match recommendations from MCM experts and avail of full scale training programs with adjacent navies on an annual basis. I wonder how the half-life refits of Niamh and Roisin are progressing. The latter seems to be on a new for old total rebuild. She will be virtually new when she comes out of DSG Rushbrook.

In addition, much of the subsea communication cables between europe and the American continent are laid in our waters. We need to have the capability to inspect and protect these from physical attack. A mine countermeasures vessel already has this capability with its range of ROV assets, high accuracy sonar and DP.
In adition to that again, this type of vessel provides a stable platform for any naval diving operation, whether it be combat or rescue/recovery.
Don't forget how the ILS tender was the primary asset in the recovery of Rescue 119, due to its suitability as a diving platform.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

Non-state actors have used mines & maritime IEDs
We have a limited counter-mine capability through NSDS currently, that needs to be expanded
Do we need dedicated MCMVs? Imho no
We need vessels that have the space and facilities for NSDS to employ their current (plus potential future) assets
