Mechanical and Marine Engineering students tour Cammell Laird Shipyard

A group of first year Mechanical and Marine Engineering students recently took a tour of Cammell Laird in Birkenhead, giving them an insight into the realities of shipyards and exposure to the marine industry.Highly capable, 3-axis non-contact video measuring machine, suitable for both simple shop-floor quality control and advanced manufacturing inspection applications ...

The students were given a tour of the shipyard, viewing work being undertaken on a number of ships in the dry docks,For mains, there is a choice of Wild Rice’s ‘Chinese Fish ‘n Chips’ (beer-battered ling cod, Asian Tartar Sauce, taro shoestring frites) or its ‘meaty’ Grilled king oyster mushroom (with cashew ricotta and polenta fries).The Spectrophotometer is an instrument which measures the amount of light of a specificed wavelength which passes through a medium. watched a time lapse video of a ship being lengthened with a new section added and told about the company’s history, market competitors and order book of upcoming projects by Cammell Laird HR Manager Danny Hart.

The company, who have close links with LJMU through the World of Work programme, has offered tours like this for LJMU students many times in the last few years but this was one of the first tours offered for first year students.

The Brokerage Team at the World of Work Careers Centre organised the tour in partnership with lecturer, Geraint Phylip-Jones; the group were accompanied by Andy Byrne, Careers Adviser for the Faculty of Technology and Environment.

Geraint Phylip-Jones said: “The site visit was very informative and it was good for the students to get out of the lecture theatre and see the realities of a shipyard for themselves. This sort of exposure to industry is vital to the students’ understanding of marine engineering and helps contextualise their lectures. The students enjoyed the tour, if not the snow blizzards on the day, and I would like to thank Cammell Laird for their hospitality.Our full range of portable ultrasonic Flaw Detector (UT) provides unmatched capabilities for locating discontinuities and other flaws.”
