Under the agreement, the company will provide all three vessels with maintenance management systems, handbooks, technical publications, drawings, tools, spares and training. A team of BAE Systems engineers will also be in Trinidad &
Tobago, working side by side with the Coast Guard at its headquarters in Chaguaramas Bay, to ensure the ships are available for service 300 days per year. During this time, the company’s engineers will be responsible for the provision of all planned and corrective maintenance, upkeep, surveys and spares replenishment. Port of Spain was built at BAE Systems’ Portsmouth facility.
However, BAE Systems moved production of the second and third ships to its yard at Scotstoun on the Clyde to balance workloads across its sites, following a significant increase in workload on the Royal Navy’s Queen Elizabeth class aircraſt carriers at its Portsmouth base. Te second ship, Scarborough, is now set to embark on sea trials this summer, and third vessel, San Fernando was due to be launched in July. WT
The new vessels will perform a range of tasks in Trinidad & Tobago’s EEZ.
