Hull engineering company Spencer Group is delivering a new permanent base for an iconic vessel as part of a major regeneration project in its home city.
The firm has been awarded the contract to build a wet berth for the Spurn Lightship in Hull Marina, just yards from its headquarters.
The new dock for the cherished vessel will form an important part of the Hull City Council-led Hull Maritime project. The £30m city-wide cultural regeneration scheme celebrates and preserves Hull’s rich maritime heritage. It involves the refurbishment of the Hull Maritime Museum and the restoration of two historic ships – the Arctic Corsair and the Spurn Lightship.
