In the 1970s a new all-weather yard at Pallion was built which could build two ships of up to 30,000 tons deadweight side-by-side. The steel came in at one end, and the completed ship left from the other with engines installed and sometimes with the machinery running. Court Line collapsed in 1974 and the Company was taken into public ownership (nationalised). It was privatised in 1986 when it was merged with Austin & Pickersgill to form North East Shipbuilders. However within two years of the merger the Doxford Pallion yard had been closed down.
