Harland & Wolff’s Crane Upgrade | Belfast News

Harland & Wolff is transforming its Belfast shipyard with a $100 million upgrade, installing eleven new cranes from Ireland’s largest family-owned steel fabricator, Walter Watson. The centerpiece? A “semi-Goliath” crane capable of lifting 20 tons, poised to handle heavy shipbuilding components. All equipment was built and tested locally in Castlewellan before being shipped to Belfast — a strategic move by Navantia to boost the regional economy. This win for Walter Watson, who reported over $6 million in profits last year, underscores how major naval projects can power local industry while future-proofing the yard for global demand.
