Ferguson Shipbuilders Ltd – in Liquidation
Ferguson Shipbuilders Ltd – in Liquidation
Post by Allan » Fri Aug 15, 2014 1:06 pm
Apparently it all happened this morning – 70 of the 77-strong workforce made redundant with immediate effect.
Very sad – the last of a long line of shipbuilders on the Clyde, been there since 1902 – now no more.

Fish & Ships Ltd (and a subsidiary Kyle Shipping Ltd) is jointly owned by Alexander Mackenzie and Douglas Gibson, who are two of the partners in Thistle Engineering Ltd of Fort William.

They seem to have close relations with Marine Harvest (Scotland) Ltd

Great news for Fergies and the Clyde - if anyone can do it this man can.

Apart from a short trip to the Garvel, the Kyle Venture has been at the fitting out quay for more than two years now. Even taking into account the receivership of the "old" Fergusons, that seems to be a very long time for a conversion job. Does anyone have an update on this?
