[THE INVESTOR]  Rolls-Royce said on Sept. 23 that it has teamed up with Hyundai Heavy Industries to build a vessel for the New Zealand Navy.

Under the contract, Rolls-Royce will provide eco-friendly designs including a wave-piercing hull form for a 23,000-ton Polar-Class logistics support vessel that HHI will build to replace New Zealand’s 30-year-old vessel, the Endeavor.

“For the first time in history, Rolls-Royce would be taking part in a military vessel design,” said Sam Cameron, vice president of Rolls-Royce’s navy sales and business development. 


   

Rolls-Royce also manufactures aerospace engines. It is currently the second largest provider of defense aero-engine products and services in the world.
