Boris Johnson says Appledore Shipyard will help make UK's navy the best in Europe as he unveils funding boost
The Prime Minister made the comments as he announced an extra £16.5bn will be given to the Ministry of Defence
Boris Johnson says a shipyard in Devon will play a crucial role in 'a renaissance of British shipbuilding' after unveiling a major cash injection for the Ministry of Defence.
The Prime Minster said he would spend an extra £16.5bn over four years to finance a 'once-in-a-generation modernisation' of Britain's armed forces.
He said it would protect 'hundreds of thousands' of positions and create 40,000 roles, while also enhancing Britain's standing in the world.
Among those to benefit could be Appledore Shipyard, which was bought by new operators Infrastrata, the asset management firm behind Harland and Wolff, earlier this year.
Shortly after the deal was concluded, Mr Johnson paid a visit to the shipyard - which is actively seeking hundreds of skilled workers ahead of what is projected to be a busy time for them.
And the PM mentioned the Devon shipyard earlier today as he told MPs of this defence plans.
He told the House of Commons: “We’re going to use our extra defence spending to restore Britain’s position as the foremost naval power in Europe.
“This will spur a renaissance of British shipbuilding across the UK. In Glasgow and South Belfast, Appledore and Birkenhead.
There’s about 7 regular posters here - and thousands who have no idea who Harland are, what they do and the significance of this licence and what it means for the companies future.
We’re at a great price and time for entering and sharing information helps others.
Someone said the other days that’s nothing we don’t already know, again the like 7 regular posters.
Have a good day everyone
We get the point Wiseinvestor.
Maybe a little less copy and paste repeats, and a bit of debate would be better?
“We saw the commitment this government and this Prime Minister has to reviving proper British shipbuilding when he visited our Appledore shipyard in August. We look forward to working with government on both defence and the Green Industrial Revolution in order to secure the future of our two shipyards, become the centre of excellence for renewable energy fabrication in the UK and build a portfolio of profitable domestic and export oriented contracts.”
Harland will receive there ML - which will re start funding discussions as FEED is already complete

“today the Prime Minister announced an extra £16.5bn in defence spending – the biggest investment programme in British defence since the end of the Cold War. He set out his vision to position Britain as the “foremost naval power in Europe” and by doing this enabling the “renaissance of British shipbuilding”, in particular noting the two Harland & Wolff shipyards in Belfast and Appledore, respectively, amongst others.
“We very much welcome the Prime Minister’s announcement today to increase defence spending. This builds on yesterday’s Ten Point Plan announcement, much of which will directly benefit InfraStrata, since our group, as it currently stands, spans at least half of the Prime Minister’s ten points.”
“When we acquired both the Belfast and Appledore shipyards, we set out a vision to unlock the potential of these two critical and strategic facilities. The Harland & Wolff Group is determined to making the most of this increased defence budget and commitment to UK naval power. It is clear from today’s announcement that there will be substantial packages of work available, with an additional eight Type 26 and five Type 31 vessels being confirmed in addition to Type 32 and other research vessels”
Harland & Wolff is well in the running for the Fleet Solid Support Warship programme worth circa £1.5bn. Its reclassification as a warship means that the programme has to be led by a British shipyard with a “significant proportion of the build and assembly work to be carried out in the UK”. As a significant stakeholder in Team Resolute, Harland & Wolff, unlike the current duopoly of defence primes, has the capacity and capability to deliver on this programme on time (or ahead of time) and on budget. Whilst we are friendly disruptors, we will continue to work alongside our competitors to secure the best outcome for British shipbuilding and future generations of school and university leavers.
