Navantia UK Ships Subsea Structures from Scottish Facility for Trinidad Energy Project

By MGN Editorial•July 20, 2026 at 11:30 AM

Navantia UK has completed delivery of subsea structures from its Arnish facility in Scotland to engineering contractor McDermott, destined for deployment in Trinidad's offshore energy sector.

## Navantia UK Ships Subsea Structures from Scottish Facility for Trinidad Energy Project Navantia UK has successfully delivered a consignment of subsea structures from its fabrication facility at Arnish, on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland, to global engineering and construction contractor McDermott, according to Offshore Energy. The structures are destined for deployment in Trinidad, marking another milestone in the ongoing development of the Caribbean nation's offshore oil and gas infrastructure. The delivery underscores the continued role of UK fabrication yards in supplying critical subsea hardware for international energy projects. ### Arnish Facility's Role in Offshore Supply Chain The Arnish yard, operated by Navantia UK on the west coast of Scotland, has established itself as a key fabrication hub for the offshore energy sector. The facility specialises in the manufacture of complex steel structures for subsea and offshore applications, and its involvement in this Trinidad-bound project highlights the global reach of Scotland's offshore supply chain. McDermott, a leading provider of engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) services to the energy industry, will utilise the structures as part of its broader project scope in Trinidad's offshore fields. The company has a long-standing presence in the Caribbean region, where it has supported the development of subsea tiebacks and production infrastructure. ### Significance for UK Offshore Manufacturing The contract represents a positive signal for UK-based fabrication at a time when domestic yards are competing for a share of both North Sea and international project work. Securing fabrication orders for export markets is increasingly important for maintaining yard utilisation and preserving specialist skills within the UK offshore workforce. Trinidad and Tobago remains one of the most active offshore hydrocarbon provinces in the Caribbean, with ongoing investment in subsea production systems to sustain and grow output from mature fields. Further details on the specific structures delivered and the field development they will support were not disclosed at the time of reporting. Offshore Energy published a gallery of images documenting the delivery operation from the Arnish facility. *Source: Offshore Energy*
