History

James Lamont & Co were established as a ship repairer at East India Harbour, Greenock, in 1870.[1] After the collapse of the Clyde Shipbuilding and Engineering Company Ltd , Lamonts purchased the Castle Yard at Port Glasgow in 1929. Clyde Shipbuilding had been at the Castle yard from 1900 from which they launched about 100 ships.[2] Before that, Blackwood & Gordon built 202 ships at the yard from 1860.[3] Lamont did not build ships there until 1938, reverting to repairs during the war and becoming a full shipyard again once hostilities were over.[4]

In 1979 the company announced that it was to give up shipbuilding and concentrate on repair work, which had been expanded by the opening of a 113m dry-dock in 1966.
