We were delighted to see the official reopening of ‘HMS Alliance’ to the general public last week with Martin Hobson (Project Director) attending the re-opening ceremony. He said it was a pleasure to see how much all the staff and submarine veterans appreciated the effort all involved had taken. Everyone should be very proud of what has been achieved for the future of the boat and museum.

Great to see her in all her full glory with the flags out and the sun shining!

We have recently completed the restoration of HMS Alliance a 1945 submarine at the Royal Naval Submarine museum in Gosport.

This project has been a long running project for us, which has been very rewarding, in we have managed to restore the exterior of boat to her former glory for many generations to come making her a long term display for the future of the museum as well as being a fitting memorial for the thousands of submariners who lost their lives.

ML UK Ltd has recently completed the relocation of HMS Bristol at whale Island, Portsmouth for Portsmouth International Ferry Port.

This project required the construction of two new dolphin structures for HMS Bristol to more against and with pedestrian walkway for access to the new positioned training ship. A challenging piling project, which was on time and on budget.
