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.
Β
ItsΒ BelfastΒ yard is one ofΒ Europe'sΒ largest heavy engineering facilities, with deep water access, two ofΒ Europe'sΒ largest drydocks, ample quayside and vast fabrication halls. As a result of the acquisition of Harland & Wolff (Appledore) inΒ 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.
Β
InΒ 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 &Β Wolff (Arnish), these facilities will focus on fabrication work within the renewables, energy and defence sectors.
Β
In addition to Harland & Wolff, it owns the Islandmagee gas storage project, which is capable of providing 25% of theΒ UK'sΒ natural gas storage capacity and which would benefit the Northern Irish economy as a whole when completed.
