A&P Falmouth has won a $9 million contract to carry out extensive repair, maintenance and upgrade work onboard the Ministry of Defense Landing Ship

Logistics vessel Sir

Percivale. Work includes substantial steelwork repairs, engine inspection and overhaul, maintenance of accommodation areas, a full blasting and painting program and upgrade of ship's safety systems in line with SOLAS guidelines.

The 5,550 tons displace- ment vessel is 413 ft. (126 m) long and has a beam of 59 ft. (18 m). Built in 1968 by Hawthorne Lesley, Sir

Percivale was due at the yard on December 7, and is scheduled to be delivered back to the MOD on April 30, 1999.

Meanwhile, the Landing

Ship Logistics (LSL) vessel

Sir Galahad, which was built by Swan Hunter on the Tyne in 1987, is to return to the river for a

Survey and Essential

Wallsend yard of A&P Tyne in December. The contract, which comes on the heels of a contract for the conver- sion of the Smit Pioneer, won by A&P, will see A&P

Tyne entering the last year of the millennium with a strong order book.

Work on the 8,861-grt, 460-ft. (140.5-m) long, 65.6- ft. (20-m) beam vessel will include survey and mainte- nance work on virtually all ship's system including hull and below the water line systems, steering gear, propulsion engines and auxiliaries, fire safety sys- tems, fuel pumps, accom- modation areas, pipe and electrical systems and flight deck equipment.

Sir Galahad was due at

A&P Tyne on December 7, and is to be delivered back to the MOD on January 8, 1999.
