High hopes for shipbuilding jobs in UK |

Hundreds of jobs could be created by the return of shipbuilding to the Wear. Pallion Engineering has been in talks with the Government for more than a year about securing work from a £3.9billion contract to build two aircraft carriers.
Winning part of the contract would provide a future in shipbuilding for a generation who never dreamed of a career in an industry in which Sunderland once led the world.
Pallion Engineering chairman Alan Dickinson today said: “I am reasonably confident that it is good news but I would like to get my name on the contract, then we will have a big celebration.
“This is good news not just for Sunderland but for the whole British shipbuilding industry.
“The total order is £3.6 to £4.6billion, so even one per cent of that is a big thing.
“There will be hundreds of jobs on a new build – there have to be, given the size of the build, the amount of work and all the skills that would be needed.
“We have been talking to the tendering people for the last 18 months. “A job like this gives you a chance to get some apprentices in and give them the training for a career in the industry.”
Pallion Engineering was one of two North East companies named by defence minister Lord Drayson as being in a strong position to win work on the £3.9billion contract.
At the opening of the new £2.3million Marine Design Centre in Newcastle this week he said: “A&P Tyne and Pallion Engineering will be competing for work on the upper blocks.
“This is the largest piece of work the navy has ever had. Building these ships will test the capacity of the whole UK shipbuilding industry.”
The new carriers will be built at various locations around the country, with the parts transported to Rosyth in Scotland for assembly.
As well as the carriers, there will also be work available on a fleet of new support vessels to keep the carriers supplied at sea.
It could also mean a new start for former workers who had given up hope of ever working in the industry again.
Mr Dickinson added:”There is still a lot of skill in the North East but some of those people can’t believe that it can be an ongoing job anymore.
“All they need is the opportunity to come in and do it.” |
