Joanna Peteranna, Director of Area Operations with HIE said:
“We’re delighted with this announcement, which ends a period of uncertainty for the skilled workforce at Harland and Wolff Arnish and puts the company on a strong footing once again.
“Arnish is a tremendous asset for the Outer Hebrides with great potential to grow its role in Scotland’s expanding renewable energy sector even further.
