For more than 50 years, Serco Defence has been trusted by governments around the world to deliver complex maritime project management, including design experience in all ship types, spanning new vessel design and refit modifications, Icebreaker and Southern Ocean support vessel design and operation, mariner training and simulations support services, and waterfront maintenance of over 900 ships worldwide. Serco has been involved in every major US Navy ship programme over the past 40 years and has provided assured support to the Royal Australian Navy for the past 20 years. Globally, one third of Serco’s revenue results from serving our defence customers, and the majority of our military support tasks are naval. Serco’s ships and designs, our people and experience play key roles in supporting the Royal Navy (RN), the United States Navy (USN), the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) and the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN). This makes Serco one of the larger maritime service companies in the world, able to call upon a wide range of maritime expertise across the ‘Five Eyes’ nations. It’s perhaps Serco’s best-kept secret, but Serco is a well-established ship builder. To its customers, “shipbuilding” means successfully bringing together a team of programme
