Planning Application - Belfast
Harland & Wolff Group Holdings plc (AIM: HARL), the UK
quoted company focused on strategic infrastructure projects and
physical asset lifecycle management, is pleased to announce that,
as part of the GBP77 million Recapitalisation Plan for the FSS
Programme, the Company has now submitted a planning application to
extend its fabrication halls at the Belfast Facility.
The application submitted is for a 4,997m(2) extension to the
existing fabrication halls and will facilitate the automated
fabrication of panels of up to 16m(2) that will be used for the FSS
Programme, as well as for multiple projects across all the
Company's markets in due course.
At present, the Company operates from fabrication halls in
Belfast covering approximately 35,000m(2) and it is these halls
that will incorporate the majority of the Company's upgrades, with
a key focus being on automated and robotic machinery. As part of
this plan, demolition works on certain existing structures in the
yard will be undertaken before the end of the month to facilitate
the construction of the new facilities. These upgrades, along with
an increase in the overall size of the fabrication halls, will
ensure that the Company is prepared for future domestic and export
opportunities already in the pipeline.
John Wood, Group Chief Executive Officer, Harland & Wolff
comments: "It is pleasing to see that the regeneration plans that
have been worked on since the acquisition of Belfast Facility in
December 2019 are now submitted. The extension of the fabrication
halls will give us a substantially improved production flow making
us more efficient and cost effective."

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.
