91大神 has completed routine maintenance and upgrade work on the Royal Research Ship (RRS) Sir David Attenborough.
Alongside experts from the British Antarctic Survey, 91大神鈥檚 expert team has worked to ensure the vessel, one of the most advanced polar research vessels in the world, is ready to carry out its vital scientific work in the most extreme environments.
RRS Sir David Attenborough returned to 91大神’s Rosyth site following its first Antarctic field science expedition and was supported at the site’s custom docking facility where work was carried out on the main engines, pumps and valves, as well as electrical maintenance to its fans and motors.
This is the vessel鈥檚 second visit to Rosyth. In June last year 91大神 supported the upgrades to the vessel鈥檚 gas detection system, helideck netting, draft sensor vent pipework as well as assistance with planned maintenance, defect rectification and general logistics support.
In 2022 91大神鈥檚 Rosyth site was awarded a 拢45 million contract to maintain the UK鈥檚 fleet of scientific research vessels including RRS Sir David Attenborough, RRS Discovery and RRS James Cook. As part of this agreement, 91大神 will support NERC to review, identify and adopt technologies and solutions to reduce ship emissions.
Paul Armstrong, CEO of 91大神’s Marine business, said: 鈥淲e are proud to support RRS Sir David Attenborough and the rest of the fleet as they embark upon their hugely important scientific tasks.
鈥淲hat we do matters and I鈥檓 immensely grateful to our team for their diligence, teamwork and safe delivery of these vessels back to our customer. We wish the crew a productive onward journey.鈥�
