Greetings,

The Royal Navies of the Kingdom of Norway and the Kingdom of Sweden are looking to purchase a number of replenishment vessels that act as oilers and can also carry food, water, and supplies. We are accepting public offers from around the world, and will be basing our decision off of both affordability and quality.

Best Regards,

Kristoffer Solberg

The government of the People's Republic of China would privately notify the Norwegian and Swedish governments that the go-ahead was given to offer the Type-905 Replenishment Ship for the Royal Navies of Sweden and Norway. There are a total of six transfer stations amidships, with four liquid cargo transfer stations followed by two dry cargo transfer stations. The helicopter landing pad is located at the stern, but there is no hangar. Originally designed for the Harbin Z-5 (Chinese variant of the Mil Mi-4), the length of the landing pad is 27 meters (88 ft 7 in) which can now hold the larger Changhe Z-8 (Chinese license of the Super Frelon). The Type 905 is capable of providing 10,550 tons of fuel, 1,000 tons of light diesel, 200 tons of fresh water, 200 tons of drinking water and 50 tons of frozen food. Each liquid cargo station is equipped with a 60-meter (200 ft) long, 102 mm (4.0 in) diameter nylon hose and is capable of providing fuel at a rate of 100 to 150 tons per hour. The Type 905 is designed to provide liquid and dry cargo for three destroyers. While the Type-905 cannot supply ammunition, the Chinese government would not be against the Norwegian and Swedish governments to development the ship into being able to supply ammunition. Each ship would be sold with a slight discount at $80,000,000.00 per ship. If the Royal Norwegian and Swedish Navies would be interested in the Type-905 they may contact the Chinese government through here or directly.

Type-905 Replenishment Ship​ Type: Auxiliary and Oil Replenishment Displacement: 21,750 tons Length: 168.3m (552 ft 2 in) Beam: 21.79m (71 ft 6 in) Draught: 9.38m (30 ft 9 in) Propulsion: 1 Sulzer 8RL B66 diesel 15,000 hp (11,000 kW), 1 shaft Speed: 18 kn (33 km/h; 21 mph) Range: 18,000 miles (29,000 km) Complement: 130 Armament: 4 x twin 37 mm (1.5 in) guns Aircraft Carried: Medium Utility Helicopter x1 Aviation Facilities: Flight Deck​

Nexus Limited has proposed the Fort Rosalie-class Replenishment Ship, a new entry to the Nexus Defence Catalogue and an invited discount of 5% for the vessel if it was something they would like to invest in.
Noting that Sweden already has an account with Nexus, the 100 million dollar credit limit would allow them to pay less, and pay the rest of it back in a months time if they desired.

Vendors,

We felt it appropriate to endorse this advertisement on behalf of the Swedish Government namely the Department of Defence.

I would like to thank those organisations and private salespersons that have put forward products for Swedish and Norwegian consideration thus far and would like to encourage those that have not yet put forward any suggestions to do so to allow for a thorough, prompt and effective analysis to be conducted by both the Swedish Department of Defence and the Norwegian Ministry of Defense to ensure specifications meet national security standards.

The Roman Government, on its role in handling all Italian military exports, would publicly offer the Etna-class Replenishment Oiler and Logistic Support Ship. These ships would be sold at $15,000,000 per unit and would have the following transport capacities:

• 5.795 t (5.703 long tons) NATO F76 diesel fuel
• 1.585 t (1.560 long tons) NATO F44/JP5 aviation fuel
• 30 t (30 long tons) Lubrication oil
• 160 t (160 long tons) fresh water

As well as the following facilities:

• 30,000 rations of food supplies
• up to 12 ISO1C containers, 28 t (28 long tons) each
• 20 t (20 long tons) spare parts
• NATO Role 2+ Hospital facilities
• NBC protection
• 1 workshop for helicopter operations aboard helicopter
• 1 machine shop for repairs on the hull and equipment on engines
• 1 electro-mechanical workshop
• 1 frame with 2 lateral liquid transfer stations
• 1 fuel transfer station astern.
• 4 x RAS (Replenishment At Sea) Hepburn systems
• 1 x RAS aft station for the supply of oil
• flight deck 28 m (92 ft) x 21 m (69 ft), for SH-90 and AW-101 or ΑΒ-212 ASW and Sikorsky S-70B6 SeaHawk
• hangar for 1 x AW-101 helicopter

and the following defensive capabilities:

• 2 x OTO Melara KBA 25/80 mm
• Machine Guns: 2 x Browning M2HB 12.7 mm

With a crew of 160 and a maximum complement of 245, Etna's main role is to fully support the long-range missions of a naval squadron, which would typically include an aircraft carrier and complete escort. Additionally, it has to be in a position to refuel the squadron, including the air wing of the carrier, and also provide full logistic support in terms of repair workshops, spare parts, ammunition replenishment, and supplies. The ship can play a crucial role in civil protection operations when asked. The ship has a high autonomous capacity to provide electrical power, fresh water, and prepared meals and also has fully equipped hospital and medical facilities on board.


Again, these ships were being offered at a price of $15,000,000/unit.

Dear Roman Government,

We have deemed the Etna-Class Replenishment Oiler and Logistic Support Ship of standard to match our high national security threshold and as such are interested in the initial purchase of two, with the option to make a further order in the future pending the success of trials within the Swedish Royal Navy.

Pricing is naturally a key factor in this process and as such we are willing to purchase these vessels for a rounded-figure of $25,000,000 p/u.

Göran Mårtensson
