Rolls-Royce and Marand expand partnership in Canberra; regional Defence HQ established Rolls-Royce expands partnership with Marand and establishes regional Defence Headquarters in Canberra | Rolls-Royce Thursday 13 August 2026 00:01 AM Following a competitive international tender, Rolls-Royce selected Marand to build three additional gas turbine acoustic enclosures and corresponding ship interface systems for the Type 26 programme. Marand will manufacture and assemble the enclosures at its Melbourne facility and supply them to Rolls-Royce. This builds on an existing contract under which Marand supplies the same systems for the Commonwealth of Australia’s Hunter-class Frigate Programme, and the completed propulsion packages are delivered to the shipbuilder, BAE Systems Australia. Rolls-Royce supplies the MT30 gas turbines under both contracts, while mtu power generation solutions also support the Hunter-class programme as part of Rolls-Royce’s broader naval power and propulsion portfolio. The enclosure provides mechanical support, noise suppression, controls, air intake, exhaust outlet, ventilation and auxiliary supplies needed to ensure optimal performance of the MT30 gas turbine. Rolls-Royce engineers are co-located at Marand’s facility in Melbourne, working alongside the local manufacturing teams. This close collaboration supports the highly complex design development, packaging and testing of the MT30 enclosures before final delivery. By localising the packaging and integration of the engine, the partnership is developing Australia’s sovereign industrial defence capability and growing highly skilled engineering roles in Melbourne.
