West Dunbartonshire Council leader Martin Rooney is welcoming news that the financial backing for a multi-million pound project is set to increase as they are looking to secure Glasgow Investment Zone funding.
The former Carless Oil Terminal, which has been vacant for decades, is in the midst of being transformed into a state-of-the-art maritime innovation hub.
The proposal titled the 'Scottish Marine Technology Park' (SMTP) outlines plans to develop industrial units for marine engineering, fabrication, research and development along with site access and associated infrastructure.
The SMTP would provide 800 full-time jobs when fully operational, and it expects to draw in £134m of private sector investment.
West Dunbartonshire Council has committed £2m to the project with a further £2m committed by Clyde Mission funding, which has since been transferred to be managed by the Glasgow City Region.

Councillor Martin Rooney said: "The SMTP is an opportunity to put Scotland at the heart of the high growth marine technology and advanced manufacturing sector, and to increase productivity in the sector.
"Once the SMTP is developed it can be used as a model for other parts of Scotland creating thousands of high value jobs and generating significant growth for Scotland.
"The potential for growth and jobs for workers in the West of Scotland – including Clydebank, Dumbarton and Helensburgh is real, and West Dunbartonshire needs this development to grow our economy."

The site was originally established as a fuel storage facility for the Admiralty in 1916.
During the Second World War, it was used by the Royal Navy as a depot and oil terminal.
Most recently it was used by Petrochem Carless as an oil refinery and associated storage until 1992 when operations ceased.
Since then, it has been vacant, with most above-ground structures associated with previous uses having been demolished.
However, the jetties on the banks of the River Clyde and partial structures remain.
