Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) and Rolls-Royce have reached a milestone agreement to provide a concept design and build a logistics support vessel for the New Zealand Defense Force (NZDF).
Rolls-Royce, the British car and aero-engine manufacturing company, said Friday it has secured a "milestone contract" with HHI to provide a concept design based on the Rolls-Royce Environship Leadge Bow.
Under the deal, HHI will undertake detailed design and build the vessel as part of the NZDF's Maritime Sustainment Capability (MSC) project, using the Rolls-Royce Environship concept design under license, to replace the NZDF's 30-year-old tanker HMNZS Endeavour.
"We see significant value in the Environship concept in the naval sector," Sam Cameron, senior vice president of sales and navy business development at Rolls-Royce, said. "Winning this milestone contract is of considerable importance to our naval ship design offering, which is new to Rolls-Royce.
"We have worked with HHI on a number of vessels, but this the first project in which we will collaborate on the conceptual design requirement. We look forward to working with HHI in delivering the MSC support ship and providing through-life support to the New Zealand Navy."
The vessel is expected to feature a modified Environship hull form designed to meet NZDF requirements for a heavily winterized, icestrengthened vessel capable of carrying out operations in the challenging Antarctic environment.
Separately from the Environship concept design, Rolls-Royce will supply a Combined Diesel Electric and Diesel (CODLAD) propulsion plant as well as the propeller shafts.
Rolls-Royce's Program Executive Asia, Ben Dunscombe, said: "We have pooled our resources across Rolls-Royce to bring together a unique array of our equipment to meet the specification. To meet the high winterization and Polar Code 6 requirements, propellers and the main and auxiliary engines will be slightly larger."
Rolls-Royce is set to deliver equipment to HHI from 2018, and the vessel is scheduled to be delivered by 2020.
