The German-designed Meko 200 is to lJ.e the RAN's newclass fri&ale. to be boot by Am«OD in the bigm en~lIeer·

inc tontJ'lltl a......lIed in Austnlillll hioitory.The Government announced the success of Ameron's

tender on Monday for the $3.5 billion project. Amc:conwill build eight ships lIS Wtlliamstown Dockyard and New­castle:.

11le Amecon tender WlI!l selected over the A WS consor­tium, based in NcWCll5Ue.

1l1e cvaluation process of the two tcndoers began onMarch 23 when the Anzac Ship Project received seven lon­MS of paperwork.

The ledlnjc:aJ evaluation of the lenders began with sO:leams. uoder project director Commodore Peter MilcbeU;about 70 officcrs were employed fuU-time for the three·month evaluation period with the toW Dumber working onthe evaluation rising to as many as ISO during peakperiods.

Defence Minister, Mr Beazley, said Amecoo WllS cho5enbecause the comortium offered a a>mparable product II I

much lower ptioe than ilS competilor.He said both ICndcreB offered exc;:etlenl ships which mel

the nceds of the RAN, bullhe Amcoon bid wassomc S3SOmillion below the A WS bid - an advantage of 10 per c;:entof the a'lnU'aCI value. This price differential could be grea­ter if some options on 5eDSOB and IogUtic support aretaken up.

Mr Beazley said in areas olber than price the IWO bidswere evenly matched.

MEacb tender had advanlagcs in different aspcc1S of snipdesign and performance, though the M das5 was margi­nally preferred overaU," he said.

"Ameron's bid was preferred in the areas of manage­ment, financial arrangements, logistiai suJlPOn, and theindustry package.

MThe Defence Forc;:e Development oomminee and theChief of Naval Staffs Advisory oommiuee were unanim­ous in rerommeding the selection of Amecon· M

The Government will now finalise a oontraet wilh Ame­oon to bUIld 10 ships, wilh options 10 vary the number toeither eight or 12.

The way is therefore left open for New Zealand 10 par­ticipate in the program ifit chooses. The NZ government isyet to make a final decision on its panicipation.

If New Zealand does not panicipate in the project, workon Australian ships which would have gone to New Zea­land firms will instead be done in Australia.

Amecon's managing director, Dr John White. believedthere were a number of reasons for the selection of Ame­con, including:• the price and performance of the Meko 200,• the strength of their proposalS for industry involvementin Australia, and• the performance and capabilities at the revitalised WiI·liamstown facility.

Dr While said Ameron would spend, on average. nearly $1million every day over the IS-year lite span of the projeCl.

MWe have Australia's finest marine engineering facilityand believe the Meko 200 will be the ideal frigate to carrythe assigned mission for the RAN," he said.

MOur choice of ship is ideally suited 10 take advantage oflocal industry capability.

Chief of the Defence Force, General P. c.Gration, has visited the Naval trade trainingcentre, "MAS N1RlMBA, in Sydney.

He addressed an assembly of officers and ship's com­pany and commented favourably on his visit.

He enjoyed his inspection lOur, met and spoke withtrainees and was entertained to lunch by the officers.

General Gradon's visit coincided with Phase 3 ETP·9first day in the machine shop.

He took particular interest in LSETP SIM Williams(right) setting up an introductory turning exercise in hislathe.

General Gration asked about naval training al theestablishment and of the trainees' future aspirations.

The visit ended after an afternoon tea with the War­rani Officers and Senior Sailors.

Mitsubishi MotorsAustralia Limited releasedthe carburettored Lanceron the Australian marketlast August.

The car attracted favour­able reaction from motor­ing writers for its com­prehensive level of stan­dard equipment - even inthe 'base' GLX model ­and its strikinglyacrodynamic body styling.

The Lancer has nceededthe company sales targetduring the first months ofrelease.
