Navantia Completes Acquisition of Harland & Wolff Facilities
Navantia UK, a subsidiary of Spanish shipbuilder Navantia, has successfully finalized the acquisition of Harland & Wolff’s facilities in Belfast, Appledore, Methil, and Arnish.
This acquisition ensures that all four facilities will benefit from Navantia’s extensive shipbuilding, fabrication, and complex program management expertise, which will support a highly skilled workforce and a robust supply chain.
As part of the deal, the Fleet Solid Support (FSS) program, which includes the construction of three ships for the Royal Fleet Auxiliary to support the UK Carrier Strike Group, will continue as planned. The vessels will be built across Belfast and Appledore facilities, in collaboration with Navantia’s facilities in Spain.
Navantia UK has ambitious plans to significantly develop these yards to support the defense, maritime, and green energy sectors.
Ricardo Domínguez, Chairman of Navantia, stated, “The completion of this acquisition marks a significant milestone for Navantia UK and demonstrates our long-term commitment to UK industry. By combining Harland & Wolff’s proud heritage and facilities with Navantia’s global expertise in defense, maritime, and renewable energy, we are creating an exceptional platform for growth.”
The transaction has received all necessary regulatory approvals, and all current employees have transferred to Navantia UK, with their existing terms and conditions preserved.
