A&P, A&P Australia and Cammell Laird underpin the availability of the Royal Navy, Royal Fleet Auxilary and Royal Australian Navy.

A&P and Cammell Laird’s dedicated Cluster Support Teams and Fleet Time Support Teams based in their facilities in Birkenhead and Falmouth, support the RFA whilst they are in operational theatre across the Globe.

A&P Australia’s operation in Garden Island Defence Precinct (Sydney) has delivered almost $500m of sustainment services under the highly successful support contract for HMAS Choules, since its inception in 2012.

APCL’s collaborative relationship with the Royal Navy, Royal Fleet Auxiliary and Royal Australian Navy, delivers significant value for money for the Ministry of Defence and the Commonwealth of Australia. 

Our extensive knowledge of the vessels through repeat refits means we are able to deliver better quality, better value and better understanding for the Royal Navy, Royal Australian Navy and RFA – increasing efficiency in fleet time and non-maintenance fleet time.
