The BiFab Yards in Methil and on the Isle of Lewis have been saved from closure.
Two out of the three sites are being bought by a company called InfraStrata which will rebrand them under the famous Harland and Wolff name.
Harland and Wolff also has two existing sites in Belfast and Appledore.
The deal is worth £850,000 pounds, but it does not include a third site in Burntisland.
The company will also be taking on the 29 staff.
The Burntisland Fabrication Ltd. steelyards, which was part owned by the Scottish Government and a Canadian firm, went into administration at the end of last year after failing to secure a lucrative contract to build platforms for offshore wind turbines.
