TTNY- Don't think Lean methodologies have reached marine yet :-)
Cheers Dawski.
This is maybe a silly question but wouldn't they have the sluices open to have the dock filled for the ship's arrival, knowing it was coming. That way it could navigate straight into the dock rather than tying up and then moving into the dock then ?
Easy answer ..waiting by our quay for the Building Dock to fill after the sluices have been opened ..takes about 12 hours or so or less ..not aware of any other docking this week --but quite a few in the pipeline ( sic ) !!
I see the Stena Europe in Belfast now but it's not in the dry dock or building dock.
Looking at it's position on the www.vesselfinder.com site it appears to be on the outside leg of land from the dry dock.
Is this part of the H & W site and I wonder if it's only waiting there to eventually come in to the building dock ? If it's waiting to come into the building block could it be they're waiting for a 2nd boat to join it so the draining of the building dock only needs done once when both boats are in ?
Maybe I'm just being hopeful or maybe they're going to simply complete the work in the position its at. I wouldnt have thought this though as a 2 week docking i imagine would need dry docking for hull checks and cleaning / anti fouling, etc.
This is me thinking out loud again.
Yes very interesting. H&W postings make good reading
Speedy ,great bit of news thanks for posting
Well sourced,Chris........our very own roving reporter ...I respect that news of ferry dockings and ship movements may seem mundane to some on this board ( as opposed to the bigger issues of ML, FID, and finance of the likes of FSRU etc ) but your posts do encourage interest in what is actually happening on the ground in our only active project at present ....good to know that there are "multiple" dockings scheduled !!
Thanks Speedy_Gonzalez for the post link below to article:

Well hopefully the half year report (31/07/20) should make some interesting reading :-) the Turnover bit has been blank the last three years, but not any longer!
Tango,morning indeed great potential here
Be good to get involved with Hydrogen before the big boom (as it is coming), and we have the potential for 13 caverns to store it, maybe even have the transport in FSRU to transport it. I know a long way off but the potential is there, we are already known for wind farm construction.
On slow weeks it is good to look at the potential to keep focussed, and blimey what potential.
Yet another successful string in infras bow !!:):)no one liner here when it comes to a diversified company imho
SSE announces commitment to significant investment in wind farms, hopefully that will translate into work for H&W.
In Barrow yesterday visiting friends ,they certainly excited about infras gas terminal facility and storange facilities ,there's a lot going on for infra atm all good stuff Chris thanks for keeping us updated on vessels coming into dock , £6 million for a terminal will be business well done when it's all up and running supplying the UK for next 25/30 yrs ,who wants dirty oil when you can have clean LNG
Getting to be a bit of a ritual now chris.
Morning coffee, 7:01 check RNS's then check ship finder and then plan rest of day.
See she's in the estuary having just past superfast VIII, who's time will come,I'm sure.
Have a great day all.
Now showing ETA Belfast Jun,17 07.15 & so more work for H&W well done JW & the team.

Much appreciated ...though I have to say that Ban was and is usually one step ahead here !!
Ahhhh ! !
Sorry Si. How could I forget our Spreadsheet and numbers man in my list below.
Only being a fairly recent poster to the INFA page (although invested a while now), I want to say simply 'thanks' to all you folk here who regularly post helpful information here. This is greatly appreciated. A good example of informative and helpful posts is the one surrounding the 'Dock-Gate' drama (that never was, lol). Ban told us earlier it was simply 10 year maintenance and Dawski confirming this with his direct knowledge, and followed up with his detailed thoughts as to where we are as a company. Your knowledge and contribution here Dawski is invaluable.
Enough of my Daws worship, lol, and thanks to you all inc, Jab, Chris, Whata, Goup, Loose, Speedy, Pac, Spud, Lottie, Cookie, etc, your thoughts and knowledge are greatly appreciated. (Sorry if I've missed anyone, im just listing from names I remember in my head without trawling through pages). Hopefully I can contribute myself in future even if it is simply my positivity's or concerns.
You might ask what's the point of this post, but some of you take a lot of time to post back to us others, and I think it's important sometimes for us to step back and say a simple 'thanks'.
So. Thanks ! !
