In 2014 the UK government announced 200 million pounds in funding for one of the most advanced #polar #research vessels.

In this video, hear from Linton Roberts, Group Technical Director, Sales and Marketing, Cammel Laird and Claire Biggar, Assistant ship manager, as they describe the #ship, its #engineering and construction.

The ship will carry up to sixty #scientists and presents an opportunity to go to places we have never been before, like the deepest parts of the ocean or remote parts of Antarctica, to make new discoveries.

Watch the video to learn about how the new polar research vessel, the #RRS Sir David Attenborough was designed and constructed at Cammell Laird in Birkenhead.
