OSI to provide INBS for Canada's arctic patrol ships
OSI Maritime Systems will build, deliver and support the installation of Integrated Navigation and Bridge Systems (INBS) for the new class of Arctic Offshore Patrol Ships (AOPS) of the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN). The company announced the signing of the INBS implementation phase contract with Lockheed Martin Canada on 19 May.
The contract follows a successful 21-month design phase contract completed in early 2015.
Lockheed Martin Canada is serving as a Tier 1 supplier to Irving Shipbuilding for the AOPS project. As per the contract with Lockheed Martin Canada, OSI Maritime Systems will deliver six INBS, with the first system due to be delivered in late 2016 and the sixth one due in late 2018.
The AOPS project will equip the RCN with six ice-capable naval patrol ships to enforce sovereignty in Canada's Arctic waters. The first AOPS is scheduled to be delivered in 2018.
Ken Kirkpatrick, president and CEO, OSI Maritime Systems, said: 'The AOPS programme is an exciting opportunity for our company.
'All of the work for this important project will be completed in Canada at OSI's Burnaby facilities and will directly create a number of new, highly skilled engineering positions. This project will also be leveraged to support our pursuit of numerous other international projects - ultimately creating many more jobs for Canadians.'
