AMC\u2019s Commercial Director Mr Rob Stewart said: \u201cWe are looking forward to working together having been neighbours for some time. With a healthy order book, the future for AMC, the Isle of Wight and UK boat building looks very positive indeed.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that AMC will remain separate and continue to trade under the same name but will benefit from Wight Shipyards Co Ltd\u2019s experience, backing and support going forward.<\/p>\n
Wight Shipyard Co (WSC) is one of Europe’s leading high-speed craft and aluminium builders. It specialises in high speed ferries, while its sister company Southampton Marine Services (SMS) provides yacht construction and restoration services.<\/p>\n
AMC meanwhile is renowned for building many aluminium working vessels, specialising in wind farm support craft and crew transfer vessels.<\/p>\n
Peter Morton said: \u201cAMC has such a strong reputation in the industry. By combining forces, we feel that we are better placed to monopolise aluminium boatbuilding in Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n
