I'm now really laughing Si.
Thon 'Lil Yella lifty thing' would be ideal for lifting those big floaty boats or big wurley windmills.
Here's the link below (hopefully) with the photo of the new crane.

Anyhoo, I would have thought "Lil' yellow lifty thing", was more your kinda thing. ;)
Lol Si.
You could suggest that name but i imagine you might get struggle to get someone to second it (other than maybe BP) .
( Soz Lisa, no offence intended, am just banterin for the craic here )
Oops, that should be LeesaDee.
Now I'm for it. :)
What about LisaDee? lol
Si_Derman in relation to your 17.52 post as an alternative INFA could just poach all the work assuming there is any as there must be a reason for closing the drydock.
Jees Si, yer gonna start a row over here !
We can't have a 3rd crane as male. There'll be protests, petitions and all sorts launched here in Ireland. I felt Delilah might be more easily accepted, but then again she sorta assaulted Samson with the haircut so could we have a bad role model like that ?.
I'm gonna suggest we go for a gender fluid variation of David, and we go for Dee. Surley no one can be offended at that, lol
As for the size of the crane being relevent to the name, sure that wouldn't matter when us buck eejits over here called the bigger crane Samson and the smaller one Goliath.
No, but Appledore built the Scillonian III in 1977.
The one that's being retired.
Watch out for JW getting the cheque book out again. There's a dry dock coming on the market. :)

Why, why, why, Delilah?
If it's smaller it could be David.
:)
ThisTimeNextYeer In relation to your 17.25 post why do they need a third crane I did not think there was the work to justify it.
On the Harland and Wolff Facebook page as well as the Belfast Live FB page, there's a post showing a new big yellow crane coming to H & W Belfast.
I've tried to copy and paste the link here but for some reason can't get in done. If there's anyone can do this please do.
They're running a campaign as to what the new name of the crane should be. Obviously with the 2 existing cranes being Samson and Goliath, I'm backing the campaign to have this lady called Delilah. Have a look at the FB page and pop on your own name suggestions too.
Just seen this on Twitter seems like Appledore might get some work soon hopefully. BJ will need to deliver on his promises soon so a condition of a loan to use Appledore will make everyone happy even the unions. https://twitter.com/MattRobertsGMB/status/1400444661039349760. Has H&W done work for the Isle of Scilly before?
Cheers for that Stokey. Maybe then the 1.6M is for 2 other ships then. If it is for Irish Ferries though a 5 day timescale for Dublin Swift and nothing appearing to be coming in from Irish Ferries in the next 7 days (apart from D/S) wouldn't tally up with a mid June completion date. My suspicion is it was for the P & O's, although I'd be delighted to be wrong.
ThisTimeNextYeer In relation to your 15.46 post in the RNS of 11 May it says ' is pleased to announce that it has won a contract award from a globally recognised ferry company for the repairs of two of its ferries at Harland & Wolff (Belfast).
The two-vessel deal is valued at approximately £1.60 million and the completion of the repair works on both vessels is expected by mid-June 2021. The works are being carried out at the Group's repair dock at its Harland & Wolff (Belfast) site. '
It was an assumption by the people on this board that it was the two European Ships. This was due to the short completion times. I am not sure of anywhere online where it says when the certification surveys were last done.
I didn't get to see the recent Roadshow presentation Stokey, but i remember that 1.6M contract announcement was either the same day, or the day before the presentation. Did they not confirm at it though that this 1.6M was in relation to the P & O ships European Causeway and European Highlander (one which had already been in and out of dry dock, and the other that was in dry dock at the actual time of the presentation) ? I could be wrong but i assumed the 1.6M was for those two ships.
Re the annual classification surveys are you aware of anywhere online where it can be read when these surveys have actually been completed on vessels ? It would give us an indication of when they might be due in again.
The Dublin Swift is scheduled to arrive tomorrow and leave on the 10 June. This raises two questions is Irish Ferries the company with whom INFA has the £1.6m two ship contract? The second question is will Irish Ferries booking in further ships for their annual classification surveys?
Think the first E was a typo. As they ended up with PR LITE. :)
Maybe we should start advertising for a new sales team, although the ones we have were said to be ELITE (seems more like eloped). :-)
You're right Stokey about it coming into the BBD from the Belfast Harbour site yesterday. It was however mean't to be coming to the BDD initially as Stena Europe wasn't envisaged at that time to need dry docking. S/E was actually due to be leaving the SRQ in the coming days.
At just over 100 metres long Dublin Swift would be straight into the BDD normally as the larger 500M BBD would be overkill for this wee RoRo.
I've heard it's going in for a paint job. Changing the name to Stena Brexit. lol :)
ThisTimeNextYeer In relation to your 16.03 post If you look at my post under Dublin Swift from yesterday you will see the Dublin Swift was always due into the Building Dock. I am not sure what is happening with the Stena Europe as it has had its departure date changed a couple of times and has been in for emergency repairs fora couple of weeks.
Si_Derman In relation to your 15.38 post he has form for making offensive posts. On two occasions he had a shot at me for my tendency to start posts in relation to. He did apologise afterwards I think because other posters had a go at him.
Thanks - ThisTimeNextYeer makes a change to have a positive posting & great that H&W will have some useful income.
Having a look at the Belfast Harbour page there's a few ships due in this Saturday to H & W.
Dublin Swift that was due to come in to the Belfast Dry Dock (BDD) is now coming into the Belfast Building Dock (BBD) instead. This'll be the first ship in this dock for a month or two now and it's good to see it being utilised.
The reason I see that it's been moved to the BBD, is that Stena Europe, that was due to leave the Ship Repair Quay (SRQ) in the coming days to go back into service, is now staying in H & W but is being moved into the dry dock facility of BDD.
It's good to see both docks being used simultaneously for the first time in a while.

Sorry, that was aimed at Capdevila11, not you capex.
Looks like it's been removed anyway. Good.
