In addition, the German Navy and the [[Royal Netherlands Navy]] are in cooperation in the "Ark Project". This agreement made the Ark Project responsible for the strategic sealift of German armed forces where the full-time charter of three [[Roll-on/roll-off|roll-on-roll-off]] cargo and troop ships are ready for deployments. In addition, these ships are also kept available for the use of the other European NATO countries. The three vessels have a combined displacement of 60,000 tonnes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forsvaret.dk/SOK/eng/International/ARK/Ships/Pages/default.aspx|title=The ships chartered for the ARK Project|access-date=27 October 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110608040417/http://forsvaret.dk/SOK/eng/International/ARK/Ships/Pages/default.aspx|archive-date=8 June 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://forsvaret.dk/SOK/eng/International/ARK/Pages/default.aspx|title=The ARK project|access-date=27 October 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101128160746/http://forsvaret.dk/SOK/ENG/INTERNATIONAL/ARK/Pages/default.aspx|archive-date=28 November 2010}}</ref>
Including these ships, the total ships' displacement available to the ''Deutsche Marine'' is 280,000 tonnes.

Procurement of [[joint support ship]]s (either two JSS800 for an amphibious group of 800 soldiers, or three smaller JSS400), was planned during the 1995–2010 period but the programme appears now to have been abandoned, not having been mentioned in two recent defence reviews. The larger ships would have been tasked for strategic troop transport and amphibious operations, and were to displace 27,000 to 30,000 tons for 800 soldiers.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://geopowers.com/Konzepte/Bw_2010__/Marine2025_.pdf |title=Inspekteur der Marine : Zielvorstellung Marine 2025+ |website=Geopowers.com |access-date=2016-03-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100601101807/http://www.geopowers.com/Konzepte/Bw_2010__/Marine2025_.pdf |archive-date=1 June 2010 |url-status=live }}</ref>
