ThisTimeNextYeer In relation to your 09.28 post the most intriguing part of the Northern Echo article in my opinion is this remark 'According to the official website, the first sailings of the Azura are not scheduled to depart until December with the first sailing from Barbados. ' As it is scheduled to arrive until the 2 July that would give it around a four month stay depending on how long it takes to sail to Barbados. It is therefore coming in for significant repairs or an upgrade.
Although the Azura is owned by Carnival, it's operated by P & O Cruises.
I can't recall in recent years if any other P & O cruise ships have been in Harland an Wolff, i don't believe so. We've obviously recently had European Causeway and Highlander in dry dock, but these are P & O Ferries vessels.
Not relevant to this news item but for anyone interested, one of Harland & Wolff's best well known new ship builds was a P & O liner in the late 50's, the S.S Canberra.
I've also attached a link from the Northern Echo newspaper informing us of the Azura coming to Belfast.

Si_Derman In relation to your 06.47 post I am not sure about that. As far as I am aware it is the first since I have been a shareholder. Some of the other holders who have held shares for longer may be able to confirm.
Would that be the first vessle for Carnival, stokey?
I have just checked the Belfast Harbour website and it shows that at 05.20 on the 2 July a ship called the Azura is due to berth in the SRQ. On checking the vesselfinder website I note that a cruise ship with that name is owned by Carnival Cruises.
Interesting posting history. Guess you'll be back in another year or so for a similar message. lol
Big rise imminent
Looks like they did the trick.......
You'll know soon enough imho gla
My gut feel, Bojo has promised JW to make this happen, Bojo has lost support in NI over handling of Brexit, NI are not cowing to BJs demands and JW is sat pants down waiting.
Surely you'd need to do a FOI request to get details on the IM recommendation, as opposed to asking them the question.
Its an absolute disgrace that its taken this long.
Company's don't usually fail to publish shareholders lists so I would guess they might not be keen to reveal for some reason .
In relation to the ML I'm convinced it is already decided and something is holding it up and till such time they will keep up with the nonsense excuse kicking the can down the road.When the petroleum industry is passed in Nigeria I will lay odds the ML will follow soon after and the FINAL INVESTMENT DECISION.in my humble O
Congratulations Stokey for reaching 5000 posts!
"there is no timeframe for the Minister to make their decision"
1) why is there no legislationat this most vital and final point?
2) makes a mockery of the whole process!
3) useless government.

Dear Mr XXXXX,
Thank you for your email dated 22nd June 2021.
In previous correspondence sent to you on 14th April 2021, we highlighted that there is no timeframe for the Minister to make their decision. This has not changed and at this time we do not have any further update.
Regards,
Marine Licensing Team
Edit: Heaven help us !!!!!!!!!
I am surprised that INFA has not been sanctioned for breach of the AIM rules over the list of significant shareholders. I have just checked the website and the list on the website is three months out of date. A failure to do something so simple as keep the list of shareholders up to date is not a good look.
Lol! If you personally help secure rns-able contracts Si, you can have her for free. In fact I'd also buy you a pint :p
Regarding this granny, Jabido? Ballpark figure? ;)
Time will tell if you are correct BP, evidently the noises from the shipping tsar give us all at least a glimmer of hope we'll get something. And I think navantia would gladly assist in building the fss. A small piece of a pie is better than none at all. To answer oldtramp, I'd sell my granny to get anything and everything from as many sectors as possible for reason's Stokey put far more succinctly than I :)
oldtramp,
It is my contention that Infrastrata will never build a ship; not least because there is no-one in the organisation with the experience of so doing. Others believe that the Spanish Armada, in the shape of Navantia, will sail to the rescue and lead INFA through its skills and knowledge deficiency.
If you were signing the purchase order, would you take the needless risk?
Stokey /Blair thanks very much appreciated
Good evening Blair do you mean no to shipbuilding or O/S Wind farm jackets I noted that Saipem have started using mono piles

oldtramp In relation to your 19.18 post I think the way forward is both due to the time lag between lease for the seabed in relation to Offshore Windfarms and the start of construction. The use of different work streams mean there is less of a risk that you would run out of work. In relation to the Saipem contract that is due to finish around April next year. The next larger contract will start sometime after that. Something will need to fill the gap between the two contracts.
It is not wise to rely on only one work stream as was seen with Appledore the previous owners only had it doing defence work when that dried up it closed.
oldtramp,
No.
Evening gents do you think new builds on ships is the way forward ? The renewable sector ie Saipem contract for jackets along with refurb of cruise liners/ferries etc is more appealing to me
