Renold's Renold Couplings, Part of the Torque Transmission Division, Awards Contract to Manufacture Flexible Couplings for Batch 1 of the Canadian Surface Combatant Ships for the Royal Canadian Navy
The Canadian Surface Combatant ships will be built by Irving Shipbuilding Inc. in the Halifax Shipyard, Nova Scotia. The contract award represents a significant extension of the Group's collaboration with Canada in supplying flexible couplings for naval vessels. The Canadian Surface Combatant will replace the Halifax class warships which also used Renold Flexible Couplings. Manufacture of the flexible couplings for the Canadian Surface Combatant is anticipated to commence mid-2024 in Renold's Cardiff facility.
