Belgian court suspends SWATH vessel award to Summa Defence subsidiary Uudenkaupungin Työvene

• Belgium’s highest administrative court today suspended the SWATH vessel procurement award to Summa Defence subsidiary Uudenkaupungin Työvene.
• The court found insufficient evidence that procurement officials had assessed a project reference against a selection criterion, without definitively ruling on eligibility.
• No contract can currently be signed under the award; no binding order had been placed.
• Procurement authority DAB Vloot will determine next steps, leaving the process’s timing and outcome uncertain.
• The suspension does not change the group’s 2026 financial guidance.
