Construction has commenced on the first Hunter Class Frigate with the major milestone marked by Australia's Deputy Prime Minister and the Premier of South Australia cutting the first piece of steel to be used on the first ship of the class. The contract for the construction phase for the first three Hunter Class Frigates has now been signed by Defence Australia and BAE Systems Australia, with the first expected to be operational in 2034. Construction of the Hunter Class Frigates will take place at the Osborne Naval Shipyard in South Australia. The construction phase of the Hunter Class Frigate Program will run for 20 years. At its peak this program will support around 3,000 direct jobs and will support a further 5,000 indirect jobs across the Australian supply chain. These jobs are in addition to the thousands of highly skilled workers that will be required to build AUKUS submarines and extend the life of the Collins class submarines, both of which will also take place at Osborne in South Australia. The Hunter Class Frigates are a key component of the Australian Government’s commitment to ensure the Royal Australian Navy has a surface fleet with high levels of lethality and deterrence in a time of increased global uncertainty. Deputy Prime Minister, the Hon Richard Marles MP said: “This first milestone is not just about cutting steel; we are supporting Australian workers to build frigates in an Australian yard, supporting Australian industry. “Continuous naval shipbuilding is how Australia will grow its shipbuilding and sustainment workforce, industry, and infrastructure." 📷 Courtesy BAE Systems Australia

It seems to resonate throughout the shipping industry, most Ship managers and Owners will only consider a profile for a Superintendent position if they have senior sailing experience. Some are stricter than others though. For Third-Party Ship managers it's a requirement from the principal so their hands are tied I guess. Fortunately for anyone out there who is coming from an academic background or has managed to work their way up from the shore there are opportunities, but there are fewer...that's a FACT! Different countries and regions see it differently though, I would say Greece is the most lenient when it comes to this....and we all know the country has Vitamin SEA in its veins. So who is right? #seafarers #superintendent #shorebased #captains #chiefengineer #navalarchitect #marineindustry

You can 'spin' this however you want but there's no getting away from the fact you're building WARSHIPS. The Clue is in the name. Without a doubt, the old 'jobs' hobbyhorse will be wheeled out and without a doubt, Global unrest will be a GOOD thing. Jobs WILL be created. Like the US Navy, the Royal Navy also will be really keen to 'demonstrate our power' so expect 'shows of strength' coming, soon. It's good for Business. Can we amalgamate ALL the Positive Scotch Whisky Stories together, to speak about 'jobs', massive investment and mass construction, in a similar hyperbolic fashion? It's BETTER for Business. #Scotlandisnow

Austal Limited is pleased to announce that it has signed a Heads of Agreement (“HoA”) with the Australian Government to establish a Strategic Shipbuilding Agreement (“SSA”) between Austal and the Commonwealth. If ultimately signed, a Strategic Shipbuilding Agreement would see Austal selected as the Commonwealth’s strategic shipbuilder at Henderson, Western Australia. As part of a pilot program under the SSA HoA, it is proposed that Austal will construct and deliver the Birdon Group designed Landing Craft (Medium) capability to the Australian Army under Defence Australia’s LAND8710 project. In addition, the Commonwealth has also ordered two additional Evolved Cape Class Patrol Boats for the Royal Australian Navy, at an acquisition cost of A$157 million, an important order for Defence to optimise its surface fleet and for Austal Australia to ensure workforce stability. Austal Limited CEO Paddy Gregg said the SSA Heads of Agreement was an important first step in developing a head contract framework under which future contracts can be formed for further work in Western Australia; the Cape Class extension would provide important job security for Austal’s ship builders as the last vessel of the current program moves through completion and delivery of the final 2 vessels; and the Landing Craft project would introduce a new-build program for Austal at Henderson.

Evident need to strengthen collaboration between the UK Ministry of Defence and Small to Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Scotland Scotland’s naval shipbuilding industry is witnessing a renaissance, a boom that promises consistent growth well into the 2040s. Shipyard workers in the heart of Glasgow, Rosyth and Port Glasgow are busier than they have been in decades, fabricating steel and constructing some of the Royal Navy’s most advanced warships. Between 2015 and 2035, Scottish shipyards are expected to construct 24 warships, with several already built and some in service. Based on recommendations from the Scottish Affairs Committee’s ‘Defence in Scotland: military shipbuilding’ report, several pathways have emerged that could further fortify the burgeoning Scottish naval shipbuilding sector. Firstly, there’s an evident need to strengthen collaboration between the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and Small to Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Scotland. The committee has identified certain barriers that SMEs face when attempting to work with the MOD. By promoting innovation and fostering better collaborations, shipyard clusters around Scotland can be bolstered. This initiative will not only support the economic ecosystem around shipyards but also invigorate the broader defence industry. Furthermore, a better understanding of the shipbuilding supply chains is essential. The committee observed that, historically, the MOD’s grasp of these chains had been less than ideal, though improvements have been noted recently. By publishing data on the shipbuilding supply chain, a clearer picture can be painted for industry stakeholders and policymakers alike. Lastly, an industry as advanced as naval shipbuilding requires a keen understanding of the evolving skills profile of its workforce. Continuous research and collaboration between the MOD and the Scottish Government can ensure that the shipbuilding sector’s needs are anticipated and addressed effectively. In summary, while the Scottish naval shipbuilding sector is poised for growth, embracing these recommendations could provide the strategic edge required for it to thrive in the decades to come. #smes #smesmaritimeawards23 #maritime #marine #shipbuilding National Shipbuilding Office Royal Navy
