It specialises in ship repair, shipbuilding and offshore construction, and today concentrates on defence, energy, cruise and ferry, renewables and commercial work, offering technical services, fabrication, repair and maintenance, in-service support, conversion and decommissioning. Its Belfast yard is closely associated with the ocean liners of the early twentieth century, including the Titanic.
