\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Peterhead-headquartered Score\u00a0<\/a>has been awarded an $89million contract for the delivery of valve solutions to support the construction of River-Class Destroyers for the Royal Canadian Navy.<\/p>\n

The River-Class Destroyers (RCD) program is the largest and most complex shipbuilding project in Canada, poised to revitalise the capabilities of Canada\u2019s Navy, while also rebuilding a domestic shipbuilding industry.<\/p>\n

In March 2025, the Government of Canada awarded Irving Shipbuilding the implementation contract to build the first three RCD\u2019s for the Royal Canadian Navy.<\/p>\n

Under this contract, Irving Shipbuilding appointed Score to provide all of the valves. These valves will be integral to the vessels\u2019 piping systems, which transport hydraulic oil, high pressure air, water and other fluids critical to each ship\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

The work, carried out at Score\u2019s Paradise, Newfoundland location involves project management, integration, testing, inspection, and auxiliary manufacturing activities.<\/p>\n

Score was selected for its established Canadian operations and prior expertise in the Global Combat Shipbuilding Program.<\/p>\n

This latest contract builds on decades of experience supporting the UK Ministry of Defence, particularly the Royal Navy, and delivering critical valve solutions to Australia\u2019s Hunter Class frigates.<\/p>\n

With a solid track record across the UK, Australia, and now Canada, Score is uniquely positioned to support Canada\u2019s most ambitious naval programme.<\/p>\n

The new RCD ships are scheduled to replace the current Halifax-Class frigates and will form the backbone of Canada\u2019s naval combat capability. These new ships are equipped with state-of-the-art technology to support and protect the sailors of the Royal Canadian Navy as they fulfil their missions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis contract marks another important step in Score\u2019s ongoing global growth and diversification,\u201d said Nick Dunn, CEO of Score.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith recent strategic acquisitions in Australia and Houston, we\u2019re enhancing our capabilities across a wide range of industries while deepening our commitment to the defence sector worldwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proud that our Canadian team is contributing to the revitalisation of Canada\u2019s naval fleet and supporting the National Shipbuilding Strategy through this landmark project. It\u2019s a strong example of how our global expertise and local delivery model bring value to major defence programmes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through this contract, Score becomes one of 700 Canadian organisations operating in region contributing to the National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS) which is bringing $174,500,000 in contracts and awards to the province of Newfoundland & Labrador alone.<\/p>\n

The latest Conference Board of Canada Report expects that between 2013 and 2026, the Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ships (AOPS) and RCD program will contribute over $14.2billion to Canada\u2019s GDP, with almost $9.5billion in labour income for Canadians.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis contract with Score is yet another testament to Canada\u2019s impressive shipbuilding capabilities,\u201d says Lee Fromson, Vice President, Supply Chain and Quality, Irving Shipbuilding. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to welcome Score to the River-class destroyer project and support them in creating highly skilled and rewarding Canadian jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
