Off west Scotland, the Arnish fabrication yard on the Isle of Lewis has won its first major contract under its new Spanish owners, who also acquired the Belfast shipyard of Harland & Wolff.
The yard, located on the largest island of the Outer Hebrides archipelago, will manufacture subsea structures for use in Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. Around 140 are employed at the Arnish facility, which is near Stornoway, the capital of Lewis and Harris.
In addition to 30 workers who will be required to complete the contract for a year-long duration.
Another yard in Scotland, but on the east coast at Methil in Fife, was also taken over by the Spanish state-owned shipbuilder Navantia in December.
This took place following a buyout of the iconic Belfast-based Harland & Wolff.
