Dreadfull news for the much hoped for regeneration of UK shipbuilding and the local economy.........so much for the National shipbuilding strategy.
I suppose it goes to show how tight the margins are - despite the yard producing a good product and innovative designs. Cammel Lairds up here in the Wirral are also feeling the squeeze despite winning new orders from the RFA and RN, according to local news they are about to start shedding manpower....sadly not what everyone up here was expecting.
