Conversion.
Decades of Experience.
Cammell Laird specialises in complex conversion and upgrade projects on a range of vessels including cable laying vessels, offshore support vessels and ferries.
This is supported by experienced project management personnel with decades of experience of commercial, military and offshore vessels.
Cammell Laird’s facilities are ideally suited for conversion projects, with large sized drydocks, crane capacities and extensive onsite workshops we are able to provide both small and large scale conversions to the commercial, military and offshore industry.
Major Programmes.
HMS Dauntless
HMS Dauntless is the first member of the Royal Navy’s Type 45 Fleet to complete her Power Improvement Project (PIP) at Cammell Laird.
The PIP improves the resilience of the Type 45 Destroyer’s power and propulsion system. One of the most advanced warships ever built, the vessel called upon Cammell Laird’s extensive experience in ship conversion to replace its two diesel generators with three new systems and modify the high voltage system.
St Helena
Unique cargo-passenger ship RMS St Helena has been converted into a mobile hub for the Extreme E SUV racing series, thanks to the expertise of the Cammell Laird team and the vessel’s third party managers, Wilson Ship Management Ltd.
RMS St Helena was one of the last working Royal Mail ships in the world and well known for her regular sailings between the tropical island of St Helena and Cape Town. After making her last cruise journey in 2018 and going on to serve as a vessel based armoury in the Gulf of Oman, Extreme E acquired her as its base ship. The ship will now be used to transport electric SUV racing cars around the world.
