VT Support Services, part of VT Group, has underlined the success of its contracting for availability approach to defence assets by agreeing an extension to the charter of three offshore patrol vessels to the Ministry of Defence for a further five years.
VT will continue to guarantee the availability of HMS Tyne, HMS Severn and HMS Mersey on fishery protection duties for a total of 960 days a year after the extension of the Contractor Logistic Support (CLS) agreement. The contract extension will be worth approximately £50 million.
