The shipyard is one of Northern Ireland's most historic brands and is facing closure after its trouble-hit Norwegian parent company Dolphin Drilling failed to find a buyer. Workers have occupied the site since last Monday as part of a high-profile campaign to save the yard, which is due to formally cease trading at 5.15pm on Monday.
