Falklands Flexiport

All the preparation, construction and prefabrication work was undertaken by Harland and Wolff between October 1983 and February 1984 and moved to the Falklands in a phased programme of three separate heavy equipment lift ship loads. Apart from a crane barge, the first load contained six mooring dolphins and the two quayside barges, which arrived at Port Stanley on 27 December 1983 after a 23 day passage from Belfast Lough.

The whole complex became operational well within the five months time limit laid down by the Ministry of Defence.
