Pendennis wins development approval

14 years ago

Pendennis Shipyard in the southwest of the UK has received approval from Cornwall Council for improvements to the yard’s shoreline facilities including the creation of two wet docks and a wet basin to hold back the tide alongside the north facing area of the yard.

Earlier in 2012, the yard secured approval from Cornwall Council to increase the height of its dry dock by 9m and to build two seaward-facing halls that will allow it to work on larger vessels.
