Navantia UK announces that its Arnish fabrication facility in the Outer Hebrides has been awarded a significant contract by McDermott Trinidad Ltd for the manufacture of subsea structures, further establishing the site’s position as a centre of excellence for energy infrastructure.
The year-long contract will see the Arnish team deliver critical subsea components for a project in Trinidad and Tobago. This new agreement builds upon the facility’s growing reputation in the subsea sector and will support continued workforce expansion at the site.
Juan de la Cueva, CEO of Navantia UK, said: “We are delighted to partner with McDermott Trinidad on this important project. By securing international work for our Arnish facility, we are not only supporting skilled jobs in the Outer Hebrides but also showcasing Scottish engineering excellence globally. This contract represents exactly the type of high-value manufacturing that we want to bring to our UK facilities.”
The contract represents a significant development for the Arnish facility, which was recently acquired as part of Navantia UK’s purchase of Harland & Wolff’s four UK yards. It aligns with the company’s strategy to develop its Scottish facilities as hubs for energy infrastructure manufacturing.
