Infrastrata Share Chat (INFA)

Weihai, sounds more like a Jordie greeting. :)

No probs BT. I don't see it that way though BT that H & W have an over reliance on Stena. Stena announced back in July a contract worth 2.5 million to carry out repairs and upgrades to 6 Stena ferries. I believe JW has previously said they need around 25 million turnover to break even this year. If that figure's achieved, Stena won't be be a massive percentage of that.

Stena have been dealing with H & W for 40+ years now. Personally i regard them as a good customer providing a steady stream of repairs and maintenance work (and therefore income), but not a customer that is going to dramatically affect any massive share price rise. Now if they started to use H & W to build their ferries that would be a game changer. They're having 2 E-Flexer ferries being built in Weihai, China at the minute.

Thanks for the link TTNY, shows quite a bit of in/out traffic over the next days.
I'm not too happy at the apparent over reliance on Stena - let's hope we are
able to expand the range of users/lines. However must not ignore the fact that
we must be doing something right to keep attracting Stena, maybe it's the price!!!

Nice £50K Buy

Dohhhhhhh ! ! (Cheers Tango, lol)

Thanks TTNY, it will be interesting to see how quickly other ships replace them - giving us an idea of how the order book is looking

TTNY 30th is Wednesday :-)

The Belfast Harbour website shows all the marine traffic in and out of Belfast docks, which includes the docks in Harland & Wolff.

According to this site the Stena Superfast VIII is due to leave tomorrow from Belfast Dry Dock (BDD) and Oeceanex Connaigra is scheduled to leave Thursday 30th Sept from Belfast Building Dock (BBD).

The vesselfinder.com site is useful to see vessel details and positions of the ships, and the Belfast Harbour site is a good site to see movements in and out for 7 days in advance. I've posted the Belfast Harbour site below for anyone interested. (The 'Traffic Expected' tab is where you see the ship arrivals and departures).

Stokey, I agree. Initially I was concerned the H&W Belfast would not be competitive in the FSS competition, due mainly to not building a ship, let alone a sophisticated "warship, in decades. However, the Navantia teaming agreement, with their considerable know-how and reputation, plus with Appledores modern infrastructure contributing blocks, as they did for the aircraft carriers, I believe INFA could indeed be a frontrunner on the basis of cost and the levelling up focus of the National Shipbuilding Strategy.

Speedy_Gonzalez In relation to your 16.19 post this is potentially very good news for INFA in particular and Team Resolute in general. If I recall the other main domestic competitor is behind on current contracts which would put Team Resolute in a good position particularly if they can demonstrate that they have a record of delivering contractson time. Also if the ships have to be built in the UK that would mean the bulk of the contract if won by team resolute may end up with INFA.

Re this mornings post, in comparison to what's allowed on the advn boards this was tame. With the low level of of regulation on AIM the BB boards who get their revenue from advertising seem happy to let it continue.

Whatamess. There was a post put on this morning where a named INFA individual was called a 'con artist'. This post was rapidly removed as i imagine it was reported. I'm assuming you didn't see this post, hence it's understandable you highlight to me that there needs to be a named individual for a libellous event to occur. I'm not giving an opinion on whether calling someone this term is potentially libellous, but there was a named individual called this earlier today.

As to your comments on your VPN connection being untraceable by any world authority ? There's a level of accuracy on this however you need to have the confidence your VPN provider doesn't disclose your details. There's a few other issues to consider but they're not share related and i'm not going there.

a warship.

thistime next year. really to overcome the problem you have just unnecessarily highlighted all you need to do is use a VPN connection. no authority in the world is able to trace private VPN connections.
and thats why they exist.
I for example use a rather good VPN connection that indicates that my geographical location is in argentina, when really i am in europe.
please stop posting nonsense
also for content to be libelous you would need to indicate real people's names
bizarre

bewarethebrokers, i have indeed topped up :)
fantastic opportunity to get in and get a slice of INFA.

triumph1 In relation to your12.47 post you may wish to do some more detailed research. Shipbuilding covers a number of areas. INFA is not reliant on just one part. Ferries still need routine maintenance. Some of that work can be done during the winter when business is slower. My projected SP at May 2022 which is the date of the broker research is about 3 times the current share price.

ThisTimeNextYeer - Great find it is now quite clear that INFA have an equal chance of getting onto the bidders list & be able to submit a competitive bid.Clearly INFA from various tweets is clearly on the path to building a work force in order to demonstrate our ability to bid & be successful in building 'Warships' for the UK.All to play for.

UK defence secretary Ben Wallace calling the FSS's 'warships' is a great boost to UK ship building. Being classed as warships they have to be built in the UK.

For INFA (and Team Resolute) , a very encouraging comment from the defence secretary yesterday in Parliament was 'We intend to encourage international partners to work alongside UK firms to bid, which will build on the success of Type 31' .

The below link is from Naval Technology and makes interesting reading. My thoughts are that it's only down to 2 bidders for competition to gain this contract. The Bab****/BAE/CL/RR consortium and Team Resolute (with INFA).

As whatamess quite rightly reminds us all on other boards, lockdown imminent. That recent asset is looking less and less attractive each day and companies increasingly looking to cost cut and make do with what they already have. Not forgetting the massive dilutionary tranches upcoming to pay for said asset. Looks like another political scam sucking in naive private money, promising looser regulation and aid when in reality just desperate to get people into work with very little, if any profit for yours truly. In business, the first rule is never trust a politician! The directors seem to have forgotten this. Of course all well and good if INFA investors are all socialist activists. Somehow I doubt that. Just another TATA steel. INFA are about 200 years late to the party re industrial revolution lol.

Not good times. Mabye I'll have to revise my 15p target to single digits.

SausageIf jobs are not going to be created by in essence bringing heavy industry/manufacturing back to the UK how do you propose the govt/people are going to go about creating jobs in the coming years?Being as we're at peak private debt with interest close to being as low as they will go, and we have the biggest property bubble in the history of these Islands, i just can't see BTL and house flipping along with shopping for shl7 we don't need with money we haven't got as being the route out.Whether INFA using HW/Appledore/IMG reap the rewards from what is coming we can't know for certain, but in my view its worth a punt. (my main worry some of its reliant on a PM who looks in a daze)

I'm amazed that individuals think they can be anonymous in online forums, chats, blogs, etc. I won't go into detail, but folks please DON'T believe or be confident that a web proxy can hide your IP address (especially with a lot of the free proxy servers available online).

For most people they don't need to be concerned, however if anyone posts illegal, defamatory or libellous comments, then please believe me, in most circumstances they can be traced by the relevant authorities.

Obviously law enforcement will have no interest in negative comments on a shares forum but when those comments cross the line with any of the above, then they may take an interest if a complaint is made to them.

Also, don't feel that if a post is removed or deleted that all is fine, it only needs to be there for literally a second to be an issue.

My motivation for writing this post is simply to remind us all that despite our strong feelings on many individuals and many subjects, we all need to be mindful that our actions can have consequences.

Again folks. No one please believe you are totally anonymous on this or any forum.

Oh good!

An absolute nobody comes on here spreading poison about JW and infa

That means we are due for a substantial rise in the share price!

Time to top up at bargain prices!

BTB

Something big must be near for the single digit posters to be rattled! IMHO

sausagefingers01 - Please if you are an investor just wait if not please go away.This board is for serious investors & I will now have you blocked.

Chris and speedy thanks hugely for posting this. I have had niggles of concern about whether team resolute would qualify if it was built British. This has erased those concerns and paves the way for team resolute to get the work. Really good news! Thank you
