Holanda ha recibido el primer helicóptero NFH90 para uso marítmo, aunque la aeronave aún no está en estado operativo.
El desarrollo del NFH 90, ha estado plagado de problemas, sobre todo por el radar de búsqueda marítima y el sistema de navegación, de ahí que la capacidad operativa todavía es limitada. Se utilizará para entrenamiento de tripulaciones y vigilancia costera básica.
El siguiente país en recibir el NFH90 será Francia, en 2010.
