Last week, Ian Russell, Business Development Manager within our Energy market team, represented Harland & Wolff at the world’s biggest Offshore Technology Conference in Houston.

The event was attended by more than 31,000 visitors and featured an impressive 1200 exhibits.

Ian said: "It was a great opportunity to see many familiar faces and to make new clients and collaborators. As we focus on growing our energy sector and broadening our base around the world this provided a hugely valuable opportunity. See y’all at the next one!"

She's in fantastic condition, quick wash and antifouling and rebrand.

"the issue with Navantia is that its government owned within a country which we have a dispute with - Gibraltar"

Are people seriously suggesting that a UK govt faced with global threats will choose to spend time, effort and money unwinding a contract with a European ally rather than leveraging the benefits of the contract to enhance the UK's shipbuilding capability (both locationally and skills development) and then push for UK build.

Yes, they're the two I use.
