Still well known to be a sectarian workplace. No great loss.

112 years, 4 months and 20 days and still remember for it.

No more ‘jobs for the boys’.

It’s a highly competitive business these days and quite hard to get the economies of scale needed to pitch against the seriously huge players.

I thought they got some big contract recently from the UK government?
Edit: after some googling they had a joint £1.6 billion contact with Navantia (Spanish ship builder) with assembly happening in Belfast for Fleet Solid Support ships. There is better information on other article about it.

I’m so upset with you that you didn’t title this “they are going to sink into administration”

Harland and Wolff are a sinking ship

Genuine question, does NI have any notable sources of income anymore? Or is it a complete economic sinkhole?

Sectarian shit-hole, let it die.

I’m surprised they’ve lasted this long considering they haven’t built a ship since 2003!
Fuck it. The cranes can be turned into tourist attractions, flatten the rest and build houses. H&W have had long enough to sort themselves out.

I’m fairly sure that the Harland and Wolff company today is not the same entity that built the Titanic, but is just some other crowd that bought the yard a few years ago and changed their name?

A monument to sectarianism and partition. Hopefully they sell the whole fucking yard off and build some kind of leisure space. Cunts couldn’t even give the cranes Irish nicknames despite Fionn mac Cumhaill and Cú Chulainn being inextricably linked to Ulster.
Even in as late as the 1990’s employment statistics show the percentage of Catholic workers (out of thousands) was single digit and they were likely clerical roles. But you’ll regularly see people gaslighting and saying “my Granda worked there and said there were plenty of Catholics there” or variations of that bullshit.
Good riddance.

A great metaphor for NI. Outdated, Sectarian & ultimately a failure.

You can set your watch to H&W going bust.
