Auxiliary oiler replenishment vessel
Project providing short-term replenishment during non-combat domestic and international Royal Canadian Navy operations.
Overview
The Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) had to retire the former Her Majesty’s Canadian Ship (HMCS) Protecteur and Preserver earlier than anticipated. This left the RCN with an urgent requirement to fill a critical gap in replenishment at-sea (RAS) capability until the joint support ships (JSS) are delivered.
The key role of the interim provision of service contract is to provide an at-sea supply and replenishment service to the RCN during non-combat domestic and international operations. It could also offer significant additional capabilities, such as aviation support, space for medical support, and humanitarian assistance or disaster relief.
