With all the chat and excitement about these floaty things and possible government contracts, as well as this so far mystical thing called an 'ML' (whatever that is), there seems to be relative silence from the company on big wurley windmill related stuff.
Now the last time the company went quiet with boaty and ML communications, and us folk were getting frustrated about this silence, i put a post on that i was excited by their silence. I felt those pesky suit people were up to something and it wasn't making decisions on the choice of biccies for tea break. Within 24 hrs all news broke loose about a purchase of Appledore, this being something there was no public discussion of anywhere and that none of us seen coming . Now ! My 'Excited' post was simply a coincidence with this news coming so soon after this excited post, as i know notheeen, being an average punter like most of us here.
Getting to the point (eventually) now. I have another hunch.
The board have said next to nothing recently about renewable energy, windfarms, etc and again the silence on this subject has me a little excited. I think those suit guys might be up to something again ! The FSS contracts (assuming we might get work from this in some shape or form) could be into 2022/2023 before a spanner is lifted on them. The Marine License decision is still to happen, who knows when ! ? All this and INFA have just bought this Appledore place (with the big acreage that comes with it) and they're also recruiting hundreds of folk !
Here's a thought. Could we be seeing those big wurley windmills at Appledore soon, and lots of them ? ? ? They don't need any ML and contract discussions with other parties shouldn't be too detailed or lengthy (as how many and how much are the main discussion points i would imagine)
Now please no-one for a second think my waffle here is from any position of knowledge, as it certainly isn't. It's simply a hunch i have, and again it's simply me sharing my thoughts out loud here.
The assembled board here at INFA are as good as it gets in my opinion and I'm hoping they have something they're not telling us again, but might announce soon.
Could it be big wurley windmills ? ?
Thanks Stokey. See what you mean Major T, is it a very small crane close up or a big one at a distance. :)
Nice to see money already percolating into the local ecomomy by the use of local firms.
40k+ buy just popped up ..
Exciting photos guys ,looks like they getting everything into place imho
Si_Derman the photo from the linkedin article can be found in this tweet https://twitter.com/Harland_Wolff1/status/1315665888226443265
Cranes and lifting equipment have to be certified on a annual basis, don't forget the yards been shut down for over a year .
Cracking pictures. I thought it was photoshopped at first with the tiny looking crane over the dry Dock.
Good to see things are progressing. Gantry crane is working and although you cant tell what's going on, clearly something is.
Thanks Stokey. May have to take a little detour down to Appledore and have a nosey next time I'm over that way.
Might even bump in to JW. Never know. :)
May see my mate on the council tomorrow if he's in and see if he has any news he can divulge.
Will inform the board if I find out anything of worth.
Cheers, Si. :)
Si_Derman In relation to your 12.22 post it was not explained but I would hazard a guess at either the dry dock or fabrication hall as it was a large empty space.
Not signed up to Linkedin so can't see the pics. :(
What's the pic of?
Many I guess but some are clearly from companies respecting H&W - there is clear support.
Chrisatrdg In relation to your 11.31 post i wonder how many of the congratulatory messages are from people who are fishing for work.
Message from JW.
'Nice to see work progressing with our reactivation plan in Harland and Wolff Appledore.'

Edit: Good picture.
Let's hope so major, its always nice to be above 40. Re the article, can anyone summarise what it says please? I've made 3 attempts to pay for subscription but I just can't do it. I refuse to pay for the torygraph :(
Be good to hold above 40 until news starts flowing.
Yeah, bring in those Canuckistan doll hairs.
All are welcome. ;)
Lotto,got to build the Ukrainian ships first ,then the expertise /workforce would be in place to build mod ships in the future ,just my thinking though but all good news for infra going forward,ml license and gas storage news must be close imho
Both the Telegraph and Mail pick up on his remarks about re-energising the shipbuilding sector. Whilst very positive they refer to 2023 as likely impact.
Loosegoose - In relation to your 09.04 post I did not notice that thanks for the info.
Came across this article https://www.naval-technology.com/features/ukraine-to-boost-naval-capabilities-with-uk-loan/ On reading it there would seem to be the possibility of other defence related work coming from Ukraine as part of the Strategic Partnership Agreement.
Stokey12, I noticed that the Oceanex Avalon is not listed in the schedule from the end of October to December. Maybe you’re right.
I was looking up the Oceanex Connaigraas it is due tomleave on the 14 to see if it was likely that any repeat business is possible. Found this information https://www.ship-technology.com/projects/oceanex-connaigra-conro-ship/ The most interesting thing is that it was built at the FSG shipyard which currently has an empty order book. Alsp it has three other ships in the class who are likely to need overhauling. Cross yourfingers for some more Cannadian visitors.
Yesterday's tweet https://twitter.com/Harland_Wolff1/status/1314573644979482625 from afar it looks like it will be ready to sail as planned in four days time. Also it would be a good advertisment of what the yard can do. Hopefully it will lead to some more business.
Glad am invested aswell
