Provider 2110 Update A

The Provider transport fleet is to receive an update over the next couple of months, as is usual practice Provider 2110 Update A will be carried out during normal refit and maintenance cycles. Each update should take 7 days to complete, quite a long time but that is mostly due to the cargo handling systems which are being completely replaced. The update includes :
  • As said above, new cargo handling systems including twice as many cranes and stronger hold floors
  • New communications sub-system with improved network security
  • An enlarged and improved sick bay
  • Re-cored engine
  • Various system updates including a new engine management computer to improve the efficiency at cruise speed
  • DDS Engineering will also take the opportunity to carry out a refurbishment of key areas of these hard working ships especially on the older examples
