Tenix delivers Multi-Role Vessel

摘要

Tenix Defence has delivered the Royal New Zealand Navy's new Multi-Role Vessel HMNZS Canterbury. In a ceremony at Tenix's dockyard at Williamstown, Melbourne, on 31 May, Tenix chairman Paul Salteri handed over the vessel to the New Zealand secretary of defence, John McKinnon, and New Zealand chief of navy, rear admiral David Ledson. The MRV is the first of seven ships being constructed for New Zealand under the NZ$500 million Project Protector. It was built by Tenix sub-contractor Merwede Shipyard in The Netherlands, and sailed to Australia in September last year for final fit-out.
