Peterhead-based Score received a C$89m (£48m) contract to deliver valve systems to support the construction of destroyers for the Royal Canadian Navy.
The announcement noted that the RCD program was the largest and most complex shipbuilding project in Canada, aimed at both revitalizing the capabilities of the country’s navy and restoring the domestic shipbuilding industry.
As part of this, the Canadian government awarded an implementation contract in March 2025 to Irving Shipbuilding to deliver the first three RCDs. Irving, in turn, has appointed Score to provide all the valves.
The valves are required for the ships’ piping systems, which transport hydraulic oil, high-pressure air, water and other fluids described as critical to the performance of each vessel.
Score will carry out its work under this contract at its Paradise site in Newfoundland, Canada. The work will include project management, integration, testing, inspection and auxiliary manufacturing activities, Score said.
Score said it had been selected for this project thanks to its established Canadian operations and its prior expertise in the Global Combat Ship programme.
The company added that this latest contract builds on its past experience supporting the UK Ministry of Defence – particularly the Royal Navy – and delivering valve systems to Australia’s Hunter Class frigates.
“This contract marks another important step in Score’s ongoing global growth and diversification,” stated Score CEO Nick Dunn. “With recent strategic acquisitions in Australia and Houston, we’re enhancing our capabilities across a wide range of industries while deepening our commitment to the defense sector worldwide.”
