The Tasmanian Government today released the Vessel Replacement Taskforce’s report and the preferred course of action for the vessel replacement.
Following consideration of the Vessel Replacement Taskforce report the Tasmanian Government has made the decision to enter negotiations with Rauma Marine Constructions (RMC) to deliver two new steel monohull vessels with increased Tasmanian local content.
Premier Peter Gutwein said the taskforce was established to explore how we could give Tasmanian businesses a larger share and more local content supporting local jobs when it comes to the most significant Government infrastructure spend of the last decade.
