Scotland which makes up one third of the UK shipbuilding market caters primarily to the UK defence sector.

The Scottish based activity is focused mainly on the design, manufacture and support of complex warships and specialist ships.

With more than 450 companies involved in the Scottish marine industry and an annual turnover in excess of £2 billion there is increasing growth being observed in the industry.

The rate of exports from the industry is huge with more than 85% of the companies exporting their goods and services.

Scottish ports handle about 17% of UK trade by volume. As the levels of coastwise freight see an upsurge to the tune of close to 30 million tons, the ship building industry in Scotland is picking up momentum.

A major part of Scottish shipbuilding is in warship and fleet support vessels and is now dominated by BAE Systems.

Current Scenario

The Scotland Ministry of Defense contracts in 2012 was worth billions of pounds to build the next generation of Royal Navy frigates.

Ship building activity has been going on steadily at various sites around Scotland and many constructed ships have departed from construction sites to assembly sites.

BAE Systems, which own the Govan and Scotstoun shipyards, has been awarded a four-year, £127million contract to design and plan new Type 26 combat ships.

The Future Road

Investment opportunities lie in the Ship repair industry which currently only has a local focus and is aiming to expand.

Marine research and development support needs investments and Scottish companies are looking for collaborations and partners to assist them going forward.

Construction of specialist vessels such as gas and chemical carriers is significant in Scotland.

Growth Drivers and Opportunities

Market Potential

The market potential for the Scotland shipping industry lays in the defence sector and in the construction and assembly of both warship and support vessels.

There is potential for the Scotts to expand the industry to include production of small leisure craft such as fast ferries, fast freight, luxury yachts and ship conversion.
