NS to buy an extra Oceania assault transport

NS have taken up an offer to buy a second-hand Consolidated-ETA SX-98 heavy lift transport which was operated by a civilian operator for a short time before the company went bankrupt. The ship will now be converted to Oceania 63A specification and join the other nine ships operated by NS (two jointly operated with the UNP).

The new ship will be known as 63-110 Grenvilla and is expected to enter service before the end of 2124.
