Following a detailed review process,

commercial position. FIG acknowledges the effort and commitment
demonstrated by Harland and Wolff throughout this
process.

About Harland & Wolff
Harland & Wolff is a multisite
fabrication company, operating in the maritime and offshore
industry through five markets: commercial, cruise and ferry,
defence, energy and renewables and six services: technical
services, fabrication and construction, decommissioning, repair and
maintenance, in-service support and conversion.
Its Belfast yard is one
of Europe's largest heavy engineering facilities, with
deep water access, two of Europe's largest drydocks,
ample quayside and vast fabrication halls. As a result of the
acquisition of Harland & Wolff (Appledore) in August 2020,
the company has been able to capitalise on opportunities at both
ends of the ship-repair and shipbuilding markets where there will
be significant demand.
In February 2021, the company
acquired the assets of two Scottish-based yards along the east and
west coasts. Now known as Harland & Wolff (Methil) and Harland
& Wolff (Arnish), these facilities will focus on
fabrication work within the renewables, energy and defence
sectors.
In addition to Harland & Wolff,
it owns the Islandmagee gas storage project, which is expected to
provide 25% of the UK's natural gas storage capacity and
to benefit the Northern Irish economy as a whole when
completed.
