Navantia's contract with the British Royal Navy "will serve to boost the Puerto Real shipyard"
The CSIF union section in Navantia Puerto Real wants to show its great satisfaction for the selection of Navantia UK as the preferred contractor for the construction of three solids supply logistics vessels for the British Royal Navy. In this project, the shipyard in which our Puerto Real shipyard will participate together with the Harland & Wolff shipyard and the British engineering company BMT.
In CSIF's opinion, this news not only consolidates the international projection of the company in the international military market, but also represents the impulse that the Puerto Real shipyard needed to consolidate the stable and continuous workload over time. It is a way of demonstrating that "it is fully compatible with the development of wind energy projects simultaneously, as this union has defended in recent years."
But from CSIF it is understood that these are not the only advantages for this center. It must be remembered that SEPI links the approval of investments to the achievement of contracts, therefore, thanks to this request for logistics vessels, "the critical improvements that the shipyard needs so that its workshops operate at full capacity" must be activated.
After the successful completion of this contract, however, CSIF will remain vigilant so that the following steps are taken, which must serve to guarantee the continuity of both civil and military shipbuilding, which ensures that the Puerto Real shipyard and all its staff continue to be a world benchmark.
