DML WINS SURVEY VESSEL REFIT

DML is pleased to confirm that it has learnt today (Wednesday, 04 August 2004) that its competitive tender for the refit to extend the life of the survey vessel, HMS Roebuck, has been successful. The refit will commence in the Autumn and will employ up to 80 people for about six months. DML has also recently won the competitive refit of HMS Cornwall.

DML's Chief Executive, Dr Dennis Gilbert, said "This is excellent news. This refit helps to provide vital work for our surface ship business unit. We are determined to fight to win as much of the available surface ship work as possible so that our overall skill base is maintained and we can continue to support the RN with DML's proven high standards of quality and delivery ".
