Australia has cancelled a contract with Phoenix International for the delivery of a new submarine escape, rescue, and abandonment system (SERAS) intended to support the Royal Australian Navy’s (RAN’s) Collins-class submarines and the planned new Attack-class boats.

The termination, announced by the Australian Department of Defence (DoD) on 21 January, follows a review of the project last year. The DoD said it will now work with Phoenix International to reach a settlement that will include addressing arrangements with the company and its subcontractors.

Plans for a new SERAS capability have been developed under Project SEA 1354 Phase 1. Following competition, Phoenix International Holdings, Inc. was in December 2018 awarded a AUD255 million (USD184 million) contract for the four-year acquisition phase. Under the terms of the contract, its local subsidiary Phoenix International (Australia) Pty Ltd was to begin delivering the service from a base in Western Australia by December 2022.
