American, British, Dutch, Indian and Spanish companies are among members of four rival industry consortia named by the British Ministry of Defence to develop designs for logistics ships to support the Royal Navy’s new aircraft carriers.

The consortia have each been awarded contracts worth around £5 million ($6.9 million) to develop their proposals to build three 40,000 tonne supply ships for the Royal Fleet Auxiliary, the Royal Navy’s logistics arm.
