Hull City Council has been successful in securing funding, including Heritage Lottery funding, for the development of the Maritime Project (Hull: Yorkshire's Maritime City), which is to include the renovation of existing buildings, including museums, places, and two historic ships linked to Hull's maritime history, and the creation of new visitor centres and city centre landscaping, including Queen Gardens and associated highways alterations and crossings. Hull City Council is seeking to appoint a Naval Architect team from suppliers that can provide a full maritime design, structural, mechanical & engineering, specialist QS/cost consultancy, and NEC contract administration consultancy, for the development, design, and delivery of the refurbishment of these two historic vessels.
