Rosyth Dockyard: Infrastructure

The cost of planned infrastructure upgrades at Rosyth Dockyard are £340 million. The cost includes the requirement to deliver a contingent docking facility for HMS DREADNOUGHT during its sea trial period.

The Submarine Dismantling Project (SDP) includes infrastructure works at Rosyth to enable the removal and processing of all legacy radioactive waste from dismantled submarines. Activity at Rosyth has begun, with HMS Swiftsure being dismantled and a further six decommissioned nuclear submarines awaiting disposal. The above costings include the elements of the SDP that are being undertaken at Rosyth.

The preliminary plans for infrastructure upgrades at Rosyth Dockyard have been approved and industry have been engaged to begin progressing the scheme design. Once the scheme design is complete final costs for the project will be negotiated. The work will include the requirement to deliver a contingent docking facility for HMS DREADNOUGHT during its sea trial period, at Rosyth Dockyard.

The Submarine Dismantling Project (SDP) includes infrastructure works at Rosyth, where final costs for the project are still being negotiated, to enable the removal and processing of all legacy radioactive waste from dismantled submarines. Activity at Rosyth has begun, with HMS SWIFTSURE being dismantled and a further six decommissioned nuclear submarines awaiting disposal.
