Work on the UK Royal Navy’s (RN’s) Type 26 City-class frigate Glasgow has resumed at defence prime BAE Systems’ Scotstoun shipyard on the River Clyde in Scotland, while it investigates the cause of damage to ship cables.
Fitting-out work on Glasgow was temporarily halted after around 60 of its cables were uncovered on 9 and 10 May that appeared to have been damaged intentionally, a BAE spokesperson told Janes .
“We immediately launched an internal investigation, alongside our suppliers, and temporarily paused work on the ship to inspect every area of the vessel and ensure our high standards and quality controls are met,” the spokesperson said.
Work on the ship has now resumed and an assessment is also under way to scope the repairs needed.
