Scottish Government: Ferguson Marine

Statement following announcement of lead bidder for the Small Vessels Replacement Programme.

A Scottish Government spokesperson said:

“We understand that Ferguson Marine Port Glasgow are disappointed not to be selected as lead bidder for SVRP.

“The Board has developed a new business strategy which targets a range of opportunities where the yard is capable and hopeful of winning new work. 

“Ministers back the Board's vision and have allocated up to £14.2 million over the next two financial years to enhance yard infrastructure and deliver productivity improvements, provided standard commercial tests can be satisfied.”
