05 Aug 21. Harland & Wolff Publish Economic Contribution Report in Partnership with Oxford Economics. Harland & Wolff, the iconic shipyard with over 160 years of maritime and offshore engineering pedigree is to publish its 2019- 2020 Economic Contribution report in partnership with Oxford Economics. Focusing on Harland & Wolff (Belfast) and Harland & Wolff (Appledore), the 46-page report details the company’s current and future economic footprint as well as its overall and future contribution to local, national, and regional communities, employment, and supply chains.

Highlights of the report include:

Harland & Wolff’s total economic footprint in the UK equated to a contribution to GVA of £12.9m in 2020 (in 2018 prices).
From 2019 – 2020, Harland & Wolff supported 390 jobs across the UK and generated £4.1 m in tax revenues.
Data provided to Oxford Economics indicates a pipeline of £6.6bn (£6.48 bn in 2018 prices) of new work has been identified across a range of activities and sectors, of which Harland & Wolff expect that £1.5bn (£1.42 bn in 2018 prices) will come forward.
Cumulatively, it is estimated that Harland & Wolff will contribute £2.1bn to UK GVA by 2025 (in 2018 prices). At its peak, in 2023, Harland & Wolff’s activity will generate £533m of GVA, supporting 9,000 jobs and generating £168m in tax revenues.

John Wood, Group CEO commented: ‘We’re incredibly proud to be publishing this report especially at a time in which the economy has not only suffered prior to COVID-19 but more so after. Leading the way and excited for our continued growth, this report showcases the wider economic benefit throughout Harland & Wolff (Appledore) and Harland & Wolff (Belfast) whilst significantly contributing to the Government’s levelling up agenda. Now across all four Harland & Wolff sites, we’re looking forward to a future full of lasting economic prosperity and high quality UK employment.”

Oxford Economics was founded in 1981 as a commercial venture with Oxford University’s business college to provide economic forecasting and modelling to UK companies and financial institutions expanding abroad. Since then, it has become one of the world’s foremost independent global advisory firms, providing reports, forecasts and analytical tools on more than 200 countries, 250 industrial sectors, and 7,000 cities and regions.

Harland & Wolff is a multisite fabrication company, operating in the maritime and offshore industry through five sectors: commercial, cruise and ferry, defence, oil & gas and renewables and six services: technical services, fabrication and construction, decommissioning, repair and maintenance, in-service support and conversion.

Its Belfast yard is one of Europe’s largest heavy engineering facilities, with deep water access, two of Europe’s largest drydocks, ample quayside and vast fabrication halls. As a result of the acquisition of Harland & Wolff (Appledore) in August 2020, the company has been able to capitalise on opportunities at both ends of the ship-repair and shipbuilding markets where this will be significant demand.

In February 2021, the company acquired the assets of two Scottish based yards along the east and west coasts. Now known as Harland & Wolff (Methil) and Harland & Wolff (Arnish), these facilities will focus on fabrication work within the renewable, oil and gas and defence sectors.

Harland & Wolff is a wholly-owned subsidiary of InfraStrata plc (AIM: INFA), a London Stock Exchange-listed firm focused on strategic infrastructure projects and physical asset life-cycle management.

In addition to Harland & Wolff, it owns the Islandmagee gas storage project, which is expected to provide 25% of the UK’s natural gas storage capacity and to benefit the Northern Irish economy as a whole when completed.
