BAE Systems wins Hunt class overhaul

摘要

BAE Systems has secured a ￡15 million contract as part of a major overhaul project to replace the 30 year-old propulsion systems onboard the Royal Navy's eight Hunt class mine countermeasure vessels. The equipment procurement contract comes on the back of the company's successful completion of the technical recommendation for a new propulsion and machinery control system to the Ministry of Defence. BAE Systems has proposed a reliable and support-able propulsion system using commercial off the shelf equipment. This will not only minimise initial procure-ment costs, but will also ensure spares are readily availa-ble for future repair and maintenance work.
