The Royal Australian Navy can now enjoy the great comfort of our AVT13 vacuum toilets. Over 170 of our AVT13 units have recently been installed on the Bay-Class ship, the HMAS Choules. The vacuum toilets are feeding 2 brand new STC-15 type sewage treatment plants that were built in as part of the same refit by Atlantic & Peninsula Australia.
In order to make the complete vacuum system work properly Wärtsilä Water & Waste has also been asked to deliver great numbers of Vacuum Valve Interfaces, sensing kits, and many types of other vacuum related valves, joints and gaskets. From a service point of view our team in Poole has been able to fully support A&P Australia and Wärtsilä Australia with our service and commissioning capacities.

A&P Australia was incorporated in 2012 and has been supporting HMAS Choules since her arrival in Australia. In 2015, A&P Australia was awarded the In-Service Sustainment and Support Contract for HMAS Choules which was extended in 2019.
