OMT CHRISTMAS LETTER ✉️ As 2024 draws to a close, we reflect on an extraordinary year for OMT. Over the past 12 months, we’ve continued to deliver on navy projects worldwide, solidifying our position as a global leader in naval ship design and production. With 16 frigates currently under construction across four countries, our impact is both widespread and significant. A key milestone this year is the latest addition to our product family: a next-generation mothership frigate already under construction. This innovative platform is designed to host unmanned systems underwater, on the surface, and in the air—demonstrating our commitment to staying ahead of evolving naval needs. Our success stems from dedicated investments in a product family-oriented product system that allows customization for individual customers while maintaining cost efficiency. This approach has proven invaluable, especially in the current global security landscape. Throughout 2024, the worsening security situation has prompted many governments to prioritize rapid and low-risk procurement, often in collaboration with allies. There’s a clear preference for adaptable, proven solutions over risky projects built from scratch. This trend aligns with OMT’s philosophy of delivering configurable, scalable products that meet urgent demands without compromising innovation. Innovation remains at the heart of what we do. Our latest mothership frigate accommodates enhanced drone capabilities, and the fourth-generation frigate includes cutting-edge technology to optimize drone deployment further. Concepts like the SmartHatch, unveiled at Euronaval, highlight how we continue to add value to proven designs, ensuring they remain relevant in an ever-changing battlefield. Read more about SmartHatch here: https://lnkd.in/dvfKvag3 Product development is not easy, and it can’t be done alone. From our collaboration with the national Danish sailing team, we have learned that you can only become a top sailor if you train with other very good sailors. In OMT, we have adopted this principle. We must be good together—together within the OMT organization and together with our skilled partners. At OMT, we are also proud to be growing as a company. As we expand, we remain committed to inviting the next generation to join the maritime industry, inspiring fresh talent to shape the future of naval technology with us. We look forward to continuing this journey with our trusted partners and welcoming new talent to our growing team as we sail into 2025 and beyond. Best Wishes, Kåre Groes Christiansen

SMARTHATCH SOLUTION NO. 3 - OPEN TO THE SKY ⚓ The last solution to unfold, solution no. 3: Open to the Sky.   Vessels with SmartHatch provide mission modules with additional access to the sky. Access to the sky enables combatants to deploy hidden Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with vertical take-off and landing capability, or even support containerized missile systems.   For example, UAVs can be deployed to provide real-time targeting data and conduct surveillance. Meanwhile, missiles can be readied to intercept incoming threats or engage targets using the data relayed by the UAVs.   These additional access points demonstrate how SmartHatch can create new opportunities across all mission profiles whilst also enhancing unpredictability - a critical advantage in modern warfare.

We're proud to announce that we will continue our partnership with Dansk Sejlunion, a collaboration that strengthens our shared ambitions to enhance Danish sail sport and improve recruitment within the maritime industry. Read more about this exciting partnership below 👇

As 2024 draws to a close, we at OMT reflect on some of the highlights of the year. One event that stands out: Our successful Teambuilding Day in September at Middelfart Marina ⚓   At OMT, our company values of Joy, Integrity, Competence, and Performance are at the core of how we do things. They were central to our day in Middelfart, which included an inspiring talk by Olympic sailor, Anne-Marie Rindom, value-driven workshops, and a thrilling race on the water in teams.   This day was more than just an opportunity to bond – it was a chance to put our values into action, sharpen our focus on who we are, and solidify what we stand for.   Take a look at the video below for a glimpse of how we collaborate at OMT - Odense Maritime Technology 🌊 #Teambuilding #OMT #BetterTogether #Sailing #CoreValues

SMARTHATCH SOLUTION NO. 2 – LAUNCH AND RECOVERY ⚓   The unfolding of SmartHatch continues, and this week we’ll look into solution no. 2 and 3 – starting with no. 2: Launch and Recovery.   The SmartHatch integrated lifting devices enhance launch and recovery capability on platforms, bringing tomorrow's combatants to the frontline as motherships for unmanned systems.   SmartHatch combatants provide sealift capacity for unmanned systems directly to the theatre. For example, during a Mine Countermeasure (MCM) mission, a SmartHatch-equipped vessel can launch and recover unmanned vehicles to survey and neutralize underwater mines.   This capability ensures that unmanned systems can be rapidly deployed and retrieved, even in challenging maritime environments, thereby extending the operational reach and effectiveness of naval forces. #SmartHatch #LaunchAndRecovery #NavalInnovation #UnmannedSystems #MaritimeTechnology #DefenseSolutions #NavalForces #SealiftCapacity #CombatReady #NavalEngineering #FutureOfNavalOperations #MaritimeSolutions #InnovationAtSea

SMARTHATCH SOLUTIONS NO. 1 – LOAD AND UNLOADING ⚓ At OMT, we’re committed to advancing modularity and adaptability of future naval ships. Our SmartHatch solution offers enhanced flexibility and efficiency, setting new standards for modern warships. Warships with SmartHatch are standalone combatants, ready to adapt to a variety of operational needs.   Equipped with advanced lifting devices, SmartHatch provides self-geared access to the mission deck, enabling naval ships to load and unload payload modules at any harbour with a suitable quay height. We’re excited to continue unfolding the potential of the SmartHatch concept and its applications.
