You could be right in that there's less cost to shift the tools and equipment about.

Still got the huge transport and shipping costs though.

Do they take a one off hit and move manufacturing to the mainland or closer to the docks over there, or mitigate the short-term costs of staying in Ballymena by continuing to face the shipping costs?

Sure the financial experts analysing any such move, will take all of that in to account if/when something comes of it.

I'm sure there will be huge financial incentives to stay in Ballymena for anyone that buys them, probably in the form of tax breaks.
