Also known as LCA type Mark I, LCA Mark I or L 9510 type Mk I.van Amstel (1991), p. 133.van Amstel (1991), p. 119. These landing crafts were made of polyester and built between 1961 and 1964 by several Dutch shipyards.van Amstel (1991), pp. 133-134. The polyester hull was built using the sandwich method that involved using layers of polyester.Woudstra (1982), p. 199. Furthermore, they were equipped with a Rolls Royce diesel engine that could produce 200 bhp and drive the schottel propeller to a maximum speed of 12 knots.Moore (1974), p. 239. The crafts were operated by a crew of three persons. Starting in 1983 they were replaced by the LCA Mark II.

The (NL)LCVP type Mk.V(C) were built as a replacement for the Mk.II and Mk.III.Saunders (2015), p. 572. The contract for the construction and delivery of the twelve crafts were signed on 13 December 2006 with Damen Shipyards Gorinchem. They were built in Den Helder by Visser shipyard, with the first four being delivered by 2009 and the last eight by 2011. The design of the Mk.V(C) is based on the British LCVP Mk5.{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}}
