The Graving Docks were originally built between 1869 and 1898 and provided ship repair facilities for vessels using the River Clyde to allow them to dry-docked before delivery. Included in the plans is the reopening of Dock No1 for the first time in 40 years for historic ship repairs in partnership with The Docks and Piers Trust.=

GGHA  Graving Dock is to welcome ships again as a £500,000 restoration programme gets under way.

Constructed between 1869 and 1875, Dock 1 at GGHA Graving Docks, which featured in the First World War film 1917, hosted hundreds of ships from across the world until it closed in 1987.=

Now the A-listed dry dock is set to have a new lease of life and will be returned to a fully operational ship repair and maintenance facility by the end of this year.

GGHA Drydock Ltd have secured a licence to operate Govan Graving Dock number one and to bring the facility back to life for use by historic and commercial ships.
