Military Refit
2007 has commenced with an unprecedented level of refit and repair activity for the UK MoD (Royal Fleet Auxiliary). Three highly complex major refits with an aggregate value of approximately £27 million have been running concurrently. The last time three major RFA refits were undertaken concurrently in one shipyard in the UK was 1993.
The large amount of military refit work undertaken has allowed Cammell Laird to develop a range of skills in excess of those usually found in a shiprepair company. These include the refurbishment and upgrade of aviation, magazine and military communications facilities which all demand the highest level of quality and accuracy.
