Civmec has been awarded a contract from Luerssen Australia in relation to the SEA1180 Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) project.

As informed, the awarded scope includes the supply and processing of steel for all twelve vessels to be built for the Royal Australian Navy.

The construction of the first vessel will commence in Q4 2018 in South Australia. The new Australian OPVs will be 80 meters in length with a displacement of 1700 tons and a draught of 4 meters.

ANAO gives tick of approval to OPV project
written by Max Blenkin October 12, 2020

The Australian National Audit office (ANAO) has given a big tick to the $3.58 billion project to select and build the Navy’s Project SEA 1180 Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs), now under construction in South Australia and Western Australia.
In a new report released on October, the ANAO said the processes for procurement and contract management had been largely effective and had supported the delivery of value for money. It added that Defence had surveyed the market for an appropriate OPV design, and had implemented a well-documented process to select three designs for detailed evaluation.
“The competitive evaluation process was supported by appropriate governance, assurance, and probity arrangements and a tender evaluation plan that was applied consistently across the three invited tenders, to provide a basis for assessing value for money,” it said.
Construction of the first two Arafura class vessels by ASC started in Adelaide last year, while work on the first of the subsequent 10 vessels by Civmec began at Henderson, WA, this year.
