Manufacturing Industries: Shipping

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps she is taking to provide specific support maritime manufacturing and assembly companies involved in (a) offshore wind, (b) business construction, (c) vessels and (d) UK ports.

Answer

The Government published the National Shipbuilding Strategy Refresh in 2022 which sets out the steps Government will take to create a globally successful, innovative, and sustainable shipbuilding enterprise that works for all parts of the UK.

The Government will continue to work in partnership with industry to deliver economic benefit for local areas, helping create well-paid jobs for people living in and around the UK’s coastal communities.

For further information, I refer the hon. Member to the answer given to my hon. Friend, the Member for Crewe and Nantwich (Dr Kieran Mullan) on 14 December 2022, UIN 104345, which outlines in further detail government support to the shipbuilding sector.
