Description

Should Make Best Use Of the Cairncross Dock

By Engineer-Commander H. Platt, R.A.N., RETD. (E.M.).

Now that the Cairncross Graving Dock has completed its work in connection with the normal and special docking services to warships and defensively armed vessels, &c., during World War 2 for which it was primarily constructed, it will be a great pity if it cannot be economically operated.

The objectives should be: To procure a fair share of large ship docking business, in fair competition with southern States; and to preserve the continuity of the operational organisation and physical condition ready for immediate use by all classes of vessels in case of another national emergency.

...

The whole of the Cairncross Dock zone could then be managed and operated under the Marine Engine works management; general ship repair business could be promoted apart from docking services; and in addition to new marine engine building, general engineering business could be sought and performed for all classes of Governmental and private enterprises.
