Strategic Positioning Ferguson Marine is a long-standing, government-backed shipyard with a 110-year heritage and scale in Port Glasgow, offering capabilities across new-build, refit and repair for vessels including ferries, dredgers, patrol and research ships, which positions it to win contracts from public sector fleets and offshore operators seeking integrated shipbuilding and repair solutions.

Expanded Capacity The 11-acre waterfront site with multiple specialized fabrication shops and quayside berths supports end-to-end vessel programs and complex projects, enabling cross-selling of design, fabrication, hydraulics, electrical, joinery and project management services to existing and new clients in marine, oil & gas and renewables.

Strategic Leadership Recent addition of non-executive directors and leadership appointments signals renewed governance and strategic focus, presenting an opportunity to engage key decision-makers on medium to large scale tenders and explore partnerships, consortiums or direct award opportunities for four new vessels and related projects.

Public Sector Momentum Active government interest in awarding Ferguson Marine contracts, including potential direct awards for ferries and Marine Scotland specialist vessels, creates a sales window for targeted pitches highlighting capabilities, delivery certainty and local industrial impact to governmental procurement teams.

Skilled Workforce A growing team with apprentices and a stable workforce, combined with a diversified tech stack and traditional craftsmanship, offers a compelling value proposition for clients seeking reliable project execution, on-time delivery, and long-term maintenance and retrofit partnerships.
