Navamar’s modular sea-to-shore connector moves personnel, vehicles and supplies between a ship and shore where port infrastructure is limited. Its pontoons and containerized equipment support barge, bridge, floating-dock and work-platform arrangements. DND’s current Joint Support Ship project page reports the final connector delivered on March 21, 2024, completing four systems plus two spare propulsion systems.

Use & integration
Recorded applications
Sea-to-shore logistics
Humanitarian assistance and disaster-response access
Ship-side maintenance and diving workspaces
These describe the reviewed application scope, not confirmed deployments, released requirements or procurement eligibility.
Evidence of maturity
DND confirms completion of the four-system delivery. Published factory-test and Navy publicity accounts use different payload figures; the approved loading case and operating conditions require confirmation rather than treating those figures as interchangeable.
Commercial availability
A delivered naval system with configuration-specific sustainment and follow-on enquiries. Future production availability, payload approval and operating limits must be confirmed with Navamar and the customer.
Integration and verification
Readiness
A technology readiness level is not established by the reviewed public sources.
Reviewed connections

The Spring 2022 Maritime Engineering Journal describes factory acceptance testing of Navamar sea-to-shore equipment at a 50-tonne payload and five knots. A separate Navy November 2022 announcement describes an 81-tonne load, without reconciling loading cases. Neither number is treated as an interchangeable universal rating.
Navamar reports that its modular Sea-to-Shore Connector can carry 50 tonnes at five knots, use roll-on and roll-off access, assemble from pontoon modules, and move vehicles or sea containers between a Joint Support Ship and shore.
