To ask the Scottish Government whether Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited and other relevant non-departmental public bodies design the specification of their shipbuilding contracts with the goal of sustaining and developing the shipbuilding and wider maritime industry supply chain in Scotland.
CMAL is fully supportive of Scottish Shipbuilding industry and supply chain, both through support to delivery of the vessels at Fergusons and its role in the Scottish Maritime Cluster. Procurements for vessels include consideration of local content but are open to tender on a wider basis than Scottish suppliers.
