Belfast Set For A Return To Shipbuilding
In a boost to UK shipbuilding prospects, the British-led Team Resolute consortium has been chosen by the Ministry of Defence as preferred bidder for three Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) support vessels. The award presages a return to ship construction by Harland & Wolff (H&W) at Belfast, after a gap of two decades, albeit drawing on overseas technological know-how.
