Serco Royal Australian Naval Reserve (RANR) Defence managing director Clint Thomas said: “Serco has successfully provided in-port services to the Royal Australian Navy across Australia as part of its Fleet Marine Services Contract (FMSC) for the past 24 years and I am delighted that this support will continue.

“This new contract recognises the strong partnership we have built with Navy over the years and Serco’s delivery of fully integrated defence service solutions.

“We look forward to working alongside the RAN with our supply network and our Australian Industry partners into the future.”

In November 2019, the US Navy’s Guided Missile Frigate FFG(X) Program Executive Office (PEO) for Unmanned and Small Combatants contracted Serco to design and build the navy’s next multi-mission small-surface combatant.
