Clyde shipyards get £100million boost
BAE Systems is to retain both of its shipyards in Glasgow.
BAE Systems have decide to maintain and improve the shipyards
It will invest £100million in improving and expanding manufacturing facilities at Govan and Scotstoun following a review of future operations.
The other option had been a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility at Scotstoun, placing the future of the Govan yard in doubt.
A BAE Systems spokesman said yesterday: “Following an assessment of potential facilities options, we have decided to retain and invest in both sites.
“Together with new technologies, cutting-edge processes and new ways of working, improved infrastructure will play a key role in transforming the way we design and build complex warships.
“This will enable us to create a modern, safe and inspiring workplace for our employees.”
