Belfast Harbour: Cruises, Cranes and Cargo explores one of the UK's busiest and most iconic seaports, home to the legendary Harland and Wolff shipyard and the birthplace of the Titanic. Belfast Harbour has acted as a lifeline for Northern Ireland  for over 400 years. It's been the entry point for countless ships bringing vital supplies all day and every day into the port, which handles 20% of all of Ireland's seaborne trade. 27,000 people now work in the area and nearly two million people and 24 million tonnes of goods pass through the port each year.

In Belfast Harbour Cruise ships make a welcome return and we meet former shipping agent Gary Hall, who now works for the Harbour Commissioners, and is tasked with overseeing all cruise ship arrivals of the season. On the stunning Sky Princess are travel vloggers Rich and Helen from Norwich, who are visiting Belfast for the first time. A dry spell of weather means they have the best possible day in Belfast while the ship is docked, including a tour of the Titanic Belfast museum.
Meanwhile, would-be trucker Rhys Brady is hoping to make the step up from office support to HGV driver, taking his test with the help of his mentor Stevie. If he passes, he'll help fill a space in the estimated 100,000 UK driver shortage.
We return to the Lagan Currachs, who are finishing off their new 3-person boat. Mary and Cathy are excited to see it all come together, but the question of course is whether it will float!
Something no boat can do without is a humble rope, and putting his decades of experience to good use is Davy, who makes a mooring rope by hand.
Also helping things to run smoothly is Curtis Wilson, who we see running a simulation of an oil spill – what needs to be done in such a situation? We see Curtis and his team use 300 oranges to act as the spill, so that they can practise their manoeuvres should an oil spill happen for real. Never a dull moment in Belfast Harbour!
