Founded in 1861 by Sir Edward James Harland and Gustav Wilhelm Wolff in Belfast, we have grown into a multisite business that spans three UK nations. Harland & Wolff collaborates with suppliers and partners internationally and operates two of the largest drydocks in Europe as well as one of the UK’s largest fabrication footprints.
From our earliest days, our portfolio includes work on some of history’s most iconic ships, including the famous RMS Titanic, RMS Olympic and HMHS Britannic, as well as the SS Canberra for P&O and the Myrina tanker – the first supertanker built in the UK.
Now, Harland & Wolff uses its rich heritage, highly skilled workforce and unique facilities to capitalise on opportunities across the maritime and offshore industry through a five-market strategic approach.
The company combines operational sites in Appledore (North Devon), Arnish (West Scotland), Belfast (Northern Ireland) and Methil (East Scotland) Tampa (Florida, USA) with three commercial offices in Aberdeen, London and Southampton.
