The Royal Netherlands Navy currently operates twelve LCVP type Mk.V(C) as well as five LCUs for the Marine Corps. Also known as LCA type Mark I, LCA Mark I or L 9510 type Mk I.

The craft were operated by a crew of three persons. Starting in 1983 they were replaced by the LCA Mark II. Also known as LCA Mark II or L 9530 type Mk II.
