HMAS Westralia
03 June 2004
Defence has purchased a $50 million commercial tanker that will be reconfigured and used to replace the Royal Australian Navy’s ageing current auxiliary oiler, HMAS Westralia, Defence Minister Robert Hill announced on 3 June 2004.
The ship, currently named Delos, is a brand new double hulled, environmentally sustainable oil tanker. It was built in the Republic of Korea by the Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Company as part of a four-ship build program for the Greek shipping company Tsakos Energy Navigation.
