Fairlie was specially selected this week to mark the naming of a Scottish built rescue submarine on Wednesday in a prestigious occasion which attracted representatives from the Singapore Navy.
The rescue subs come to the aid of submarines which are in trouble such as the Kursk off Norwegian waters which made international headlines a few years ago.
James Fisher Defence has built a rescue sub for the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) in a record 22 month period and selected Fairlie Quay for the official naming ceremony.
A spokeswoman for James Fisher Defence said: 'We were selected as part of a joint venture with ST Marine of Singapore, to deliver a comprehensive submarine rescue service to the RSN. A key part of the contract is the design and construction of the rescue submarine.
'This is a very important day for James Fisher. It highlights the strengthening international relationships that the company enjoys and marks the end of nearly two years work from the James Fisher team.' Fairlie was selected for the ceremony as the local bay is being used for sea trials of the new rescue sub.
