Manufacturing is now underway at Ferguson Marine on the first of three units to be built for HMS Belfast, the third City Class Type 26 frigate currently being constructed by BAE Systems.
This phase of work involves fabricating three steel units. When ready later this year, the modules will be transported to BAE Systems’ Govan shipyard ready for assembly as part of HMS Belfast, part of a series of eight warships being built for the Ministry of Defence.
David Tydeman, chief executive of Ferguson Marine said: “Today heralds a new era for commercial shipbuilding at Port Glasgow, one we have painstakingly planned and prepared for.
