We are delighted to share a key milestone in the recapitalisation of our Belfast yard with first steel now erected.
Belfast has a long shipbuilding history, and this £77m investment ahead of delivering the FSS programme will enable the site to continue designing, building, and maintaining technologically cutting-edge vessels for years to come.
The improvements will give us the ability to take on larger projects at an accelerated pace, using the latest manufacturing technologies, requiring skilled people that will be trained to the highest standard.
This investment is underpinning the transformation of the yard and will not only support FSS delivery but embed the latest technology across the group to increase our competitiveness in the European market and win new orders across our five markets of defence, commercial, energy, renewables and cruise and ferry.
