Defence & Security

 

New Business Opportunities

The geopolitical situation and the massive investments in defence and security open new opportunities for Semco Maritime. We are therefore now expanding our focus to include the defence sector, recognising it as a potential business area where we can effectively leverage our extensive experience in maritime operations and complex offshore and infrastructure projects.

Bringing Our Competences into Play

We believe that our long experience in the offshore industry can be leveraged in the military buildup taking place in Denmark and across Europe. There will be a demand for companies like us that have specialised knowledge and skills, whether it involves integrating systems into a platform or building and assembling larger constructions.

  Co-owners of Danske Flådeskibe K/S 

The upgrading of vessels for the Danish Navy is a concrete example. We took the first major step into the defence area when we became co-owners of Danske Flådeskibe K/S with the ambition to design, produce, and service frigates and Arctic vessels for the future Danish fleet. This is a task we can accomplish because we have experience in building and assembling large, complex constructions.

Investment in Stormborn

Another area we are looking towards is the increasing focus on better protecting society against hybrid attacks, including enhanced surveillance of critical infrastructure. Therefore, we took another commercial step in August 2025 with the investment in Stormborn, which makes innovative, unmanned vessels for monitoring critical maritime infrastructure. We see great potential in Stormborn and a good synergy with our experiences, competencies, and production capacity from the offshore industry

A three-pillar strategy:

Integration, Scalable Production & New Solutions

Our defence strategy is built on three strategic pillars that define how we contribute to national security and grow our position in the defence industry. Together, these pillars guide our efforts to integrate advanced capabilities, scale production across the maritime value chain, and develop new solutions through innovation, partnerships, and targeted acquisitions:

  1. Playing a role as an integrator in the production of vessels for the Danish Navy.

  2. Leveraging our core competencies and production facilities for scalable defence production.

  3. Developing new solutions in the defence area, e.g. through acquisitions and partnerships.

 

Danske Flådeskibe K/S

Semco Maritime A/S is part of the consortium, Danske Flådeskibe K/S, created to perform the task of designing, building and maintaining the new, modern naval vessels of the Royal Danish Navy.

Danske Flådeskibe K/S includes some of the world's best capacities in delivering military ships:

  1. Terma, Denmark's largest defence company.
  2. Odense Maritime Technology, world leader in the design of military ships with ongoing frigate projects in the UK, Poland, and Singapore.
  3. PensionDanmark, one of Denmark's largest pension funds.
  4. Semco Maritime, platform integrator using experience from the maritime field and complex offshore and infrastructure tasks.
Stormborn Ltd.

We have a minority share of Stormborn Ltd., a promising Danish startup company.

This strategic investment aligns with Semco Maritime's ongoing commitment to fostering innovation in both the Defence market and the Offshore Wind sectors.

Our investment in STORMBORN supports the revolutionary X-WAVE USV (Unmanned Surface Vessel) technology. 

STORMBORN focuses on delivering innovative solutions for the maritime industry, designed for scale production and rapid deployment to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.
