Chancellor Healey is expected to promise a "new age of industrialisation" for the UK in a speech to Labour's annual party conference on Monday, according to the BBC.
The speech is set to include policies aimed at boosting British shipbuilding, part of a broader push to revive domestic industrial capacity as a pillar of the government's economic strategy.
The announcement comes as Labour uses its conference to outline its economic priorities, with industrial policy expected to feature prominently among the themes addressed by senior party figures during the gathering.
Support for shipbuilding and related manufacturing sectors has featured in past UK government initiatives aimed at strengthening regional economies and creating jobs in areas with historic ties to heavy industry.
Further specifics of the announced policies, including funding levels and implementation timelines, are expected to be detailed as part of the chancellor's conference address.
