Civmec to acquire Luerssen Australia in non-binding agreement with NVL

Luerssen Australia builds patrol vessels for the Royal Australian Navy.

Civmec Limited have entered into a non-binding agreement with NVL B.V. & Co. to acquire Luerssen Australia. It did not specify the amount involved.

Under the agreement, NVL will transfer all its shareholding in Luerssen Australia to Civmec. This includes assets, employees, and licences.

The move will ensure uninterrupted operations at the Osborne South shipyard in South Australia and the Civmec-owned facility in Henderson, Western Australia, according to an SGX filing by construction and engineering firm Civmec.

Luerssen Australia is responsible for building six Arafura Class Offshore Patrol vessels for the Royal Australian Navy under the existing SEA1180 contract with the Australian Department of Defence.

The proposed acquisition is subject to the Commonwealth’s approval, which both parties aim to obtain by 31 December 2024.

In the interim, Luerssen Australia and Civmec will collaborate to manage the SEA1180 project.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
