Since its establishment in 1861, over 2,000 ships, offshore vessels and various steel structures of all types and sizes have begun their life in our Belfast and Appledore shipyards.

Including bulk carriers, tankers, drill ships, ro-ros, passenger ferries and FPSOs. Integrating extensive facilities with a large engineering capacity and strong project management enables us to offer a ‘one stop shop’ with a highly focused, client-centric approach.

With direct deep water access and 1,800m of quayside space, our Belfast shipyard welcomes a wide variety of vessels and structures. The site boasts a vast main drydock and two 140m ‘Goliath’ gantry cranes. Within the 30,000m2 covered fabrication halls, up to 100-250 tonnes of structural steel can be handled per week.

Our versatile Appledore facility, split across two yards and with its roof-covered 119m drydock, is ideally suited to sensitive, prestigious or concurrent fabrication and construction projects.
