<!-- This section is linked from [[Glasgow]] -->

The Firth of Clyde, like the [[River Clyde]], has historically been an important centre of [[shipbuilding]] and shipping. Upriver, there have been shipbuilding and engineering centres at [[Glasgow]], [[Govan]], [[Clydebank]], [[Dumbarton]], and [[Renfrew]]. Downriver, there have been major yards at [[Greenock]] and [[Port Glasgow]]; smaller yards at [[Irvine, North Ayrshire|Irvine]], Ardrossan, [[Troon]], and [[Campbeltown]]; and various other boatyards, including those at [[Hunters Quay]], [[Port Bannatyne]], and [[Fairlie, North Ayrshire|Fairlie]]. Today, the [[Ferguson Marine]] shipbuilding yard, adjacent to [[Newark Castle, Port Glasgow]], is the last [[merchant ship]]builder on the Clyde, and it is owned by the Scottish Government.<ref name="auto"/> In Greenock, the large [[dry dock]] and ship-repair facilities at Inchgreen opened in 1964, and were subsequently taken over by [[Scott Lithgow]]. The dry dock there is {{convert|305|m|}} long and {{convert|44|m|}} wide. With the demise of [[Scott Lithgow]] and [[Cammell Laird]], their facilities came under the management of [[The Peel Group|Clydeport]].
