Specialized naval handling systems

Rolls-Royce is the global leader in specialized naval handling systems through our Naval Handling Center of Excellence in Peterborough, Ontario. Our handling systems experts have been providing solutions to the naval industry for more than 35 years. The Mission Bay Handling System (MBHS) offers an integrated solution for handling and stowing cargo, munitions, unmanned and manned offboard craft.

The MBHS transforms a ship's mission bay into a multi-purpose, flexible space allowing it to adapt to a variety of operational situations. It offers countless possibilities for ship operators - from storage of all types of cargo, munitions, and containerized mission modules, eliminating the need for a dockside crane. The precisely controlled hydraulic boom will efficiently and safely deploy and retrieve manned/unmanned surface vessels in challenging sea conditions up to sea state 6.
