CDPI Projects and Initiatives What Does the Future Hold for Govan Graving Docks?

Summer 2018: The Clyde Docks Preservation Initiative (CDPI) would like to acknowledge the immense support that our campaign to save Govan’s historic graving docks has received since it started with only a small petition in 2014.

With the planning decision imminent and exciting new proposals from Ferguson Marine to bring Govan Graving Docks back into use for ship repair, CDPI have handed over our direct role relating to Govan Graving Docks to the Govan Docks Regeneration Trust charity.

We are working to identify industrial and maritime heritage assets along the tidal Clyde Corridor that are in need of protection or present opportunity for community, heritage and tourism/leisure focused regeneration... Clyde Festival

We are developing a plan to launch an annual Clyde Festival programme along the length of the Tidal River and firth along similar lines to London's Thames Festival. This aims to bring existing and new independent festival, events and activities together into a common marketing approach.

Join us in shaping a vision for a major celebration of the Clyde's past, present and future. 
We are addressing the creation of a comprehensve inventory resource of everything maritime industrial and heritage related on the Clyde to document changes along the river.

Please get in touch if you have skills or expertise that could assist in compiling an archive.


We are looking at the potential to create a sail cargo hub on the Clyde.

Potentially this could exist at Govan Graving Docks as part of taking forward alternative proposals for regeneration of the derelict site...
