The Arnish yard in Lewis has cut the first steel for subsea structures destined for a gas field development on the Caribbean.
Arnish was bought by Navantia earlier this year as part of the purchase of Harland & Wolff.
McDermott Trinidad Ltd's Manatee project - and we're ahead of schedule.
The year-long contract with McDermott Trinidad Ltd see our team deliver critical
subsea components for this important energy infrastructure project off the coast
of Trinidad and Tobago said Navantia.
McDermott won the overall commissioning contract with Shell Trinidad and Tobago Limited, an offshoot of the energy giant Shell.

Navantia said: “This milestone represents exactly what we envisioned when bringing
these facilities into the Navantia UK family - creating high-value manufacturing
