Navy Gravy for Rolls-Royce

Rolls-Royce has won a £ 137m long-term service and support contract for gas turbines which power 27 ships in service with the British Royal Navy as well as the French, Belgian and Royal Netherlands navies. The company will support Olympus and Tyne gas turbines for the next 12 years, when the ships are due to go out of service. The contract was awarded by the UK Ministry of Defence on behalf of all four navies.

Contractor for the works Herbosch-Kiere is in the process of ordering new pile material.
