Titanic’s Builder, The Iconic Harland & Wolff To Be Sold To Spain’s Navantia

The legendary shipbuilder Harland & Wolff, famous for constructing the Titanic, faces a dramatic turn—set to be acquired by Spain’s Navantia.

This iconic shipyard, placed into bankruptcy for the second time in 5 years, could soon find stability under Navantia’s ownership.

If the deal is approved, it will safeguard 1,000 jobs across Harland & Wolff’s four shipyards in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and England.

Harland & Wolff is a key subcontractor for the Royal Navy, involved in constructing critical support ships—a vital connection for U.K. defense.

U.K. officials call it a "vote of confidence", with the deal bringing fresh investment to the shipbuilding sector and securing its future.

Some view the takeover as a decline in British industry, but for Harland & Wolff’s workforce, it’s a lifeline and a chance to thrive under Navantia.

Harland & Wolff, a name etched in maritime history, now prepares for a new chapter—one that could redefine its legacy and the U.K.’s shipbuilding future.
