National Museum of the Royal Navy

Tennyson Suite is extremely honoured to be awarded the contract to support the NMRN providing CDM support to the HMS Victory Conservation Programme.

The next decade is a key period in the 260 year-long story of HMS Victory’s service and survival. During this time the National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN) will deliver a programme of conservation work to ensure the long-term preservation of a world-class historic vessel and an exemplar of a Royal Navy capital ship from the Age of Sail. In addition to being a unique historic asset, HMS Victory is a significant visitor attraction within the setting of No. 2 Dock and Portsmouth Historic Dockyard whilst continuing to serve as a commissioned warship and the Flagship of the Royal Navy’s First Sea Lord.

The aim of the HMS Victory Conservation Programme is to deliver a fully-conserved ship, able to survive in an open environment, and in a condition to survive for the next 50 years without major work beyond a programme of planned maintenance.

Our role in this exciting project is to ensure that through a planned support programme, the team at Tennyson Suite will act as a specialist CDM Adviser, ensuring that the NMRN complies with all current and emerging statutory legislation, providing subject matter expertise in all elements relating to the re-planking of the historic ship.

The Health and Safety Director for Tennyson Suite said, “We are proud to have won the tender and look forward to working in partnership with the National Museum of the Royal Navy on this complex project.
