Harland & Wolff temporarily suspends trading as it

Belfast-based shipbuilder faces uncertainty over £200m government loan guarantee

The shipbuilder Harland & Wolff has been forced to temporarily suspend trading in its shares after accounting issues meant it was unable to file audited accounts on time.

The Aim-listed company, which owns the shipyard where the Titanic was built, said on Monday that it would suspend trading with immediate effect because accounts had not been filed.
