The Government is going to buy a $493 million naval tanker. The ship will be custom-made ready to be used in Antarctic and it will also replace the 30-year- old HMNZS Endeavour. The new ship will be used to refuel naval vessels and helicopters at sea and to supply fuel and fresh water. The new vessel will be built by South Korean company Hyundai Heavy industries and is going to be delivered in 2020. This ship will be much larger than the HMNZS Endeavour.
