RE: Is a Major US Defence contract on the horizon for Harland &Wolff18 Aug 2023 18:19
I've said it before and I'll repeat it now. IMO one day we will be taken over by Serco. The reason? We will eventually straddle the pond between the U.S. Canada, and the UK's navies. Also, Serco is well connected to the so-called "elites" of British society. Basically, what Serco wants, it gets.
I've copied the following from their website:
"We work across all major ship platforms including surface combatants, submarines, amphibious ships and craft, and unmanned surface and underwater vessels. We are known for applying our rigorous engineering approach to new ship design, fleet modernization and sustainment to speed capability to the Fleet in pressurized budget environments.
We combine world-class engineering and design capabilities with hands-on support for modernization, installation, and sustainment efforts. We are at the forefront of applying new technologies, including artificial intelligence and unmanned vessels, to the unique requirements of our military customers.
Serco provides maritime services within the U.S. and internationally, which includes ship maintenance and sustainment, passenger transport services, environmental response, military training, transport and stowage of munitions, towing services, buoy and moorings and diving services.
We are a leader in support of procurement, production management and integration engineering for maritime customers, having supported every significant new surface vessel class for the U.S. Navy in the past four decades and several major new ships for the Royal Canadian Navy."
Good weekend's all.
