Navantia UK

About

At Navantia UK, we combine centuries of naval shipbuilding heritage with modern innovation to strengthen Britain's defence, maritime and clean energy capabilities. Established in 2022 as a subsidiary of Spanish state-owned Navantia SA, we bring over 300 years of shipbuilding expertise to the UK industrial landscape. Following our acquisition of Harland & Wolff in January 2025, we now operate across four historic facilities in Belfast, Appledore, Methil, and Arnish, employing over 1,000 people nationwide.

Our team is united by a commitment to sovereign capability and technological excellence. As prime contractor for the Ministry of Defence's Fleet Solid Support programme, we're building three next-generation vessels for the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. Beyond defence, we're actively supporting the UK's energy transition through offshore wind and green energy projects. We believe in investing in our people and communities, with plans to recruit 500 apprentices by 2030 and £115 million in investments across our UK facilities. Our STEADY values shape how we work: bringing together proud heritage with global expertise to deliver for Britain.
