Harland and Wolff Holdings PLC
 PROFILE
That iceberg sank the "RMS Titanic," but not the company that created her. Founded in 1858, Harland and Wolff produced the famed White Star Line's "Titanic" and "Olympic" liners in the early 1900s and the "Sea Quest" floating oil rig used in the North Sea in the 1940s. Today Harland and Wolff Holdings is focused primarily on the offshore oil and gas industry, building floating production and drilling units designed for deep water use. Its Belfast shipyard also makes naval ships and luxury passenger liners. Ironically, the financially troubled company is developing a reseach and tourism area called Titanic Quarter at its Queen's Island site. Norwegian shipping firm Fred. Olsen Energy owns about 70% of the company.
