Cathelco deal floats Navy’s boat
Cathelco has signed a contract to supply equipment for the first three vessels in a new generation of warships, which will have a major role across the full spectrum of the Royal Navy’s operations. The Type 26 Frigates will be
installed with two types of Cathelco systems, one protecting the underwater hull surface against corrosion and the other designed to prevent blockages in engine seawater cooling system pipework caused by bio-fouling. A key role of the warships will be
to protect the new Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers from hostile submarines. Cathelco has also supplied the vessels’ hull corrosion protection and marine growth prevention systems.
Due to start the manufacturing
phase in the coming weeks at BAE Systems’ shipyard in Glasgow, the first ship is scheduled to enter service in the 2020s. Justin Salisbury, Managing
Director at Cathelco, said: “As a British company, we are delighted to be supplying equipment for the Type 26 warships, particularly as we supplied and upgraded systems on their predecessors.”
