Jobs Boost for Ferguson Shipbuilders of Port Glasgow
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates Ferguson Shipbuilders of Port Glasgow, the Clyde’s last independent shipyard, which has been awarded a £3.2 million contract for refit and refurbishment work on an accommodation support vessel; welcomes the much needed jobs boost that this will provide to the yard and hopes that this contract will lead to similar and bigger contracts; applauds the spirit and dedication of the highly skilled local workforce and the management, who have ensured that the yard maintains a first-class reputation during tough economic times; notes the commitment of all those involved in the long fight campaigning for contracts to help secure the future of the yard at more difficult times; wishes Ferguson Shipbuilders every success in the future, and believes that the Scottish Government must do more to support the local yard and Scottish shipbuilding.
