After participating in today’s GMB Scotland summit on the future of Ferguson Marine, Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes said:
“The Scottish Government shares a common goal with GMB Scotland, the yard, the workers and all stakeholders who met today – to seek a sustainable future for Ferguson Marine which works for employees, the taxpayer and Scotland’s economy.
“I have heard many ideas and been impressed by the energy and commitment of everyone involved.
“The contributions will be at the forefront of my mind over the coming weeks as we consider proposals for the yard’s medium and long term future.
“Ferguson’s workers deserve huge praise for their dedication and hard work.
“Despite the well documented problems, Glen Sannox is on course for delivery by the end of July and Glen Rosa will be completed next year.”
