Remarks:

The shipyard "Swan Hunter" in Newcastle came to live again after the take over of a dutch group of investors some years ago. A tender for the british Navy two years ago was won on basis of the concept, design and price for the production of large transport vessels. The patent of these ships was taken over of the dutch warff "de Schelde" who build a similar vessel, the HMS Rotterdam" for the dutch Navy earlier. Two vessels will be build in Newcastle and two others in Scotland. To create new dry docks, large enough to build the vessels a large combi wall was the most economic and strong alternative.
