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.

Its Belfast yard is one of Europe's largest heavy engineering facilities,
with deep water access, two of Europe's largest drydocks, ample quayside and
vast fabrication halls. As a result of the acquisition of Harland & Wolff
(Appledore) in 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.

In 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 & Wolff (Arnish), these facilities will focus on fabrication work
within the renewables, energy and defence sectors.

In addition to Harland & Wolff, it owns the Islandmagee gas storage
project, which is expected to provide 25% of the UK's natural gas storage
capacity and to benefit the Northern Irish economy as a whole when completed.
