# Denmark and Lithuania Procure Blocker Naval Mines

Denmark and Lithuania are moving to acquire Finnish-made Blocker proximity naval mines through the Naval Mines Cooperation framework, joining Finland and Estonia as participants in the system. In June 2026, the Finnish military signed a contract with Forcit Defence on behalf of five participating countries, valued at **hundreds of millions of euros**. The arrangement may create additional demand for logistics, training, exercises, and lifecycle support as participating navies expand their mine capabilities.

- The June contract provides a shared procurement pathway; companies with relevant mine-warfare, support, training, and sustainment capabilities may find opportunities as participating countries field the system.
- Denmark and Lithuania’s planned acquisitions broaden the potential user base, but the signals provide no country-specific contract values, award dates, or solicitation details for those purchases.
- Germany and Norway have not publicly announced purchases, so procurement professionals should not assume they are committed participants or include their demand in near-term forecasts.
