Welcome to Naval Shipbuilding in northwest England

Welcome to the website of the Keep our Future Afloat Campaign. "Keep our future Afloat" is led by UNITE and GMB trade unions with support from Furness Enterprise and NWDA.

The campaign aims to secure a steady drumbeat of naval shipbuilding orders to enable the Royal Navy to have the resources it needs to defend the UK and the sea lanes on which our trade depends in line with the National Security Strategy.

A steady order flow will sustain the high value skills in the UK's naval shipbuilding and submarine building yards, companies within their supply chains and at through life support bases.
