Success story

Congratulations to BAE Systems Maritime on the award of a £4.2 billion contract for an additional 5 Type 26 frigates, on top of the three already under construction. This UK Government contract award ensures continued support for 1,700 jobs at Govan and Scotstoun well into the next decade.

On Sky News on 15 November, the BAE Systems managing director, Sir Simon Lister, also announced a further infrastructure investment at Govan of between £100 million and £200m.

A real success story for Clyde shipbuilding.
