According to an announcement, following the build of the first two vessels in South Australia, the Civmec will undertake specific fabrication and construction activities for the following 10 vessels. "Final consolidation of the ten vessels will be undertaken in the Company’s new world-class shipbuilding facility, which is currently under construction adjacent to its existing water-front facilities and head office at Henderson, Western Australia," it said.
