Titanic shipyard wins Carnival UK dry-dock work
Titanic shipyard Harland and Wolff has won key dry-dock contracts with homegrown cruise brands Cunard and P&O Cruises.
It is the historic yard’s first work on cruise liners for more than two decades.
It will work on Cunard’s Queen Victoria and P&O Cruises Aurora.
Queen Victoria will be the largest cruise liner ever to drydock in a UK shipyard
“When acquiring the assets of Harland and Wolff in a pre-pandemic period, the cruise industry was one of our key target markets,” said John Wood, CEO of Harland and Wolff.
“Our facilities are ideally placed to capitalise on these types of large projects whilst we continue servicing our smaller but regular clients.”
The shipyard is owned by Infrastrata, following a period of administration.
“We are delighted to be able to have these two ships at a UK shipyard with such a long heritage and reputation and we very much look forward to supporting the UK maritime industry,” said David Varty of Carnival UK.
