SINTEMAR supports Navantia in their international expansion, collaborating in the construction of vessels for the Australian Navy

29/03/2016

SINTEMAR reacts to the world-wide needs of their clients by joining them in their international expansion. A great example of SINTEMAR's capacity to adapt and provide international services is the company's participation in the construction of two logistical craft for the Australian Navy constructed by Navantia.

The demands of the project have required that a Team of Technicians from SINTEMAR be sent to the ASC (Australian Submarine Corporation) yard in Adelaide, South Australia, in order to co-ordinate the work of installing components of the propulsion systems for the two supply warships.

With the aim of providing value to clients, SINTEMAR offer a local service at international levels, supporting the success of Navantia in the awarding of this project, providing a highly qualified team that worked alongside the Australian Navy's team of mechanics and precision engineers.

This close collaboration began in 2014 with the fitting and lining-up of the propulsion shaft bushes for the first destroyer in the F 100 series. During the first half of January 2016 the same work was carried out on the second destroyer (M/V Brisbane) using Chockfast epoxy resin.  Precision at all stages in these alignments is vital and essential as propulsion of a warship is one its most important systems and reliability is essential.
