If I can add, from direct personal experience, the 4 extant Strat Ro-Ros have been excellent and what's more, the company providing the service have been one of the most forward-leaning and wilco service providers I have encountered in my world of staff officering. Having been involved in a number of 'partnerships' where the SPs constantly pulled out the contract, Foreland Shipping were a breath of fresh air. As with all defence procurement progs, and that is pan-global examples, we assume all civ providers are there to frustrate and whilst some of the higher profile progs give plenty of evidence, the majority deliver. If we enter contracts looking to mitigate straight away, one will always find fault. A significant issue is that we are pretty bad at requirement writing, added to mission creep and the constant turnover of mil pers, we don't help ourselves.
