Harland & Wolff begins a £3.1 million overhaul of its Samson and Goliath cranes to support continued operations at its Belfast shipyard. The work covers the two large gantry cranes used for heavy lifting and industrial handling.
According to reporting, work has already started on Goliath, the older of the two cranes. Other details of the project are described as part of a broader investment aimed at maintaining crane performance and reliability, with the Samson crane also scheduled for refurbishment as part of the same programme.
Both outlets focus on the cost and the cranes involved, presenting the overhaul as ongoing rather than a future plan. While they share the same core facts, the Independent highlights that refurbishment activity for Goliath is already underway, whereas the other outlet frames the announcement more generally around the full £3.1m overhaul.
