Phew, what a relief, we don't need that boring old gas storage after all! Turns out we can import and burn coal instead to tide us over any gaps in wind and gas powered electricity generation.

The article is behind the usual pay wall but you will get the gist of it.
I do have an opinion but LSE don't offer that option, unfortunately!
Just seen this post on LInkedIn from H&W. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6840605468222726144/ the post reads 'On Friday 3 September, we were excited to welcome 13 new apprentices to our Belfast site!
Highlights of this unique training programme include practical on-the-job training, one to one mentoring alongside our experienced workforce, as well as the opportunity to earn while you learn.

oldtramp ref 10.37 post I must confess that this makes me nervous. If team Resolute is seen as the favourite and then loses out the share price night take a bigger hit than if it was considered a long shot and won. Having said this my personal view is that for political reasons the contract will go to Team Resolute as it offers work spread around more of the UK than Team UK.
This is quite an interesting view from LinkedIn regarding contract for FSS ships

Although not mentioned in the press release, Navantia of Spain is included in the Team Resolute consortium Navantia is a state owned employment facilitator which needn't make any profit. Combine that with the political appeal of bringing work on a module or two, plus fitting out and fusion of the modules, to Belfast and possibly Devon, and Team Resolute looks like the favourite.

Stokey I can’t find any link to bluegem or simply blue to Saipem.
My interest is the floating platforms but it is just very speculative research at moment.
oldtramp ref 11.43 and 12.26 posts So an ongoing business relationship between bluegemwind and Saipem might be beneficial to INFA's bottom line.
This is a saipem floating platform plenty of fabrcation

Hi stokey do you remember Blue gem wind visited Belfast recently ?
https://www.bluegemwind.com/
Blue gem wind is the name of a joint project Total energies & Simply Blue Group
Simply Blue have a lot of floating wind projects in the pipeline
https://www.offshorewind.biz/2021/08/09/octopus-renewables-invests-in-floating-wind-developer/
Cant see INFA fabricating blades but floating platforms would be a great plan as they are new market also worth noting next round of CFDs is due out soon with floating offshore wind in the mix for the 1st time in pot 2
I wonder if INFA will try and form an alliance with some of the owners of North East or Irish Sea Offshore leases to fabricate the blades and jackets?
LSE03,morning ,thats what i read this morning aswell.

Interesting article setting out the current players and importance of UK supply chains for the UK to properly benefit
oldtramp re 08.57 post fine words but when it comes to Harland & Wolff I am waiting for the government to match words with action. It is over a year since the Prime Minister came to Appledore with his promises when is he going to deliver on them?
Published yesterday a long read but some interesting points
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/secretary-of-state-speech-to-the-british-irish-association-conference
Harland and Wolff, the aerospace industry and hydrogen buses and hubs are well positioned to drive the UK’s green industrial revolution as we fulfill our ambitious commitments on climate change and the environment.
There are exciting opportunities emerging for Northern Ireland to be a leader within the UK on hydrogen energy. The Government’s ambitious and detailed Hydrogen Strategy published last month provides the beginning of a road map to realising this.
Stokey, morning I see in the papers they saying we are way behind our foreign and European counterparts in respect of clean energy wind turbines , construction and maintenance ,wonder what will come of this ,I've just been on a cruise on the p&o Iona, fantastic new ship run on hydrogen gas the future is certainly exciting for shipbuilding if they introduce a regulation that all ships need to be clean energy ingo
I see from vesselfinder that the cargo ship Widor will be visiting Methil on the 7 September. I am not sure if it is delivering to somewhere else in Methil other than the fabrication plant.
Si_Derman ref 11.36 post the next trading update is due at the end of this month. I am hoping that it says something about the three ship deal that was mentioned on LinkedIn recently.
The comment has gone now from linkedin sure it was just a typo......
Did I miss it, or is this the first that we have heard of an "Australian base"? What would be the point of that, other than allowing JW to top up his winter tan at our expense? Rather like the Miami office aka the BoD golfing excuse.
Affraid the man speaks in riddles. Was his comment just a reply to the linkedin post by Aurecon, OT?
Think we could do with a trading update to fill in some of these blanks, tbh. And by RNS not a bloddy tweet.
Thanks for the replies gents I didn’t realise we had an Australian base or indeed why we would need one.
JW spent time in Australia with BAE Systems and Aurecon.
John wood was previously the leader of global oil and gas at Aurecon.
Anyone have any idea what this is about?
John Wood

Nice to see the coin has dropped with the transition from O&G, only ten years behind the curve! Look forward to working with Aurecon now we have established an Australian base!

Might be over-peddling this notion now?
We'll see
400k at 18p.wow must have been some presentation and those 500k sells must not have seen it..Nothing to do with the presentation in my view it's about shifting shares which the company will be fully aware of .
