UK shipbuilder Babcock has secured a GBP30 million (USD36.7 million) contract to conduct the routine dry-dock maintenance periods of the UK Royal Navy's (RN's) two Queen Elizabeth-class (QEC) carriers for the next decade at its dockyard in Rosyth, Fife.
Announcing its win on 14 May, Babcock said the 10-year contract also includes the provision of any contingency dockings that may be required over the timeframe of the agreement. Scheduled dockings will be conducted over a six-week period and will include all routine maintenance and repairs that cannot be done when the carriers are afloat.
The long-term docking contract is a significant win for Babcock and builds on the shipbuilder's previous success in securing a GBP5 million contract to conduct the first dry-dock period for first-in-class HMS Queen Elizabeth in mid-2019, five years after the ship was launched at the same yard.
Under the new contract, second-in-class Prince of Wales will undergo its six-week work package in 2022. After assuming the role of command ship for NATO's High Readiness Force (Maritime) in January 2022, Prince of Wales
