My buy showing as a sell Mm games
Mines going on now last buy order maxed out now
Any chance you could ask them to repeat the transaction a few more times!?
Just for the record that 'Sell' of 57,920 was a Buy not a Sell as I know who made the Buy this morning !!!!!!!!!
oldtramp ref 10.53 post Looking at the table Belfast has a greater length, width, depth and ease of access. The other areas that Rosyth does beat Belfast can be done by upgrading facilities or an arrangement with the Titantic Hotel.
Lottie,yes those salt caverns will be essential to holding 25% of the countries supply in the coming years imho
There is an interesting line in the statement.
"It is also another step in implementing The National Shipbuilding Strategy and increasing our domestic maritime construction capacity and capability alongside the type 26 & 31 programmes already underway."
This would suggest the contracts would be unlikely to go to Scotland.
Regarding IM project.
I have been reading a range of carbon capture articles and between Norway, USA and ourselves, billions are being committed (research and small scale modeling)... It is clear that sub sea caverns would be a good Start.
Stokey,thanks for some clarification there
MoD looking for British shipyards to build support ships

Jabido ref 10.59 post I think this event is for possible sub contractors to the main bidders. The article does say that participation is through the bidders that will be attending. If that is the case I suspect that Team Resolute are one of the bidders.
Brilliant spudtheplumber glad I topped up last week.
Oops sorry for that double post... here's the link to the latest fss article. Hope we are attending!

Hi Stokey I don't know the measurements at rosyth but UK defence journal know their nuggets so I assume their assessment is correct. Plus JW states in the PR that Belfast is one of 2 dry docks large enough to take the QE class. So presume rosyth is the other. Spud, great link, you beat me to it! Again for those on twitter, UK defence journal is worth a follow. There's also a new article about the fss that IL link. Hope everyone is well on here, not posting much these days as not much news is flowing. Hope that changes soon!
Good find Spud great to see we are being considered shows great confidence
Dry docks available and dimensions

spudtheplumber ref 09.53 post oldtimer will correct me if I am wrong but I do not believe that the dry dock at Rosyth is long enough for the Queen Elizabeth Class to dock.
Bubble2021 ref 10.00 post Any bid for BAB will provide an early indication of how HMG will use its powers under the National Security and Investment Act. Any foreign bid will attract a Mandatory referral. I can see the Secretary of State making it a condition of giving clearance that the defence contracts are spun out into a separate company.
Are the government looking at another shipbuilder instead of Bab**** ?,hence why they sold off part of the company last week and possibly more ,what does anyone think ?,am just trying to view things in a different perspective with the hope some of these building contracts come infras way ,don't drag me down am trying to be honest and open about things here
Spud ,great find there ,indeed would be very good contract,reading about Bab**** this morning possible target,if they do sell out will the government contracts be reviewed as of many companies in a takeover do they go back and say we got price wrong and want it revised or honour the contract or contract it out to others lowering the cost ?

Doesn't help short term of course but would be a very prestigious contract to win

Hi Marine Licensing Team,
Thank you for your reply to me of the 21st July it was very much appreciated.
It was good to see that my query regarding timeframes for making a decision was drawn to the attention of the Minister.
Your reply to me was some 4 weeks ago & I was wondering when the Minister will be able to answer my query of the 9th July see my e-mail below.
Regards
My Query e-mail of 9th July:
It has been stated in earlier e-mails that 'there is no timeframe for the Minister to make their decision' but following a consultation there must be some form of timeframe otherwise what was the point of having had a consultation.Is there not a legal time period that resolution to a consultation is achieved.
Is it possible for my question to be forwarded to the Minister to make him aware that this question is being asked.
To answer the question: adjusted for splits, consolidations etc: the share price in 2008 was about £420 (yes pounds) in today’s terms. More recently, in 2014, it was about £12. Towards the end of 2016 was the last time it was above £1. This company has been a relentless and on-going investor capital destruction machine (worse than a -99.9% return) . For the management it’s a very different story of course, they have made tens of millions and are highly motivated to keep the investor-to-manager cash funnel show on the road. “Big RNS coming in a matter of days”. Yawn.
Chrisatrdg,
What a wonderfully appropriate typo in your most recent post!
Sorry, couldn't resist.
NigelHaemoglobin ref 13.34 post I am inclined to the view that INFA are in a good place to land a significant proportion of the fabrication contracts for the WTGs in relation to both the Crown Estate and the Crown Estate Scotland leases for two connected reasons. Firstly, there is the large fabrication footprint that INFA have with Methil and Arnish. Secondly, there is the local content provisions in both the Crown Estate and Crown Estate Scotland Leases.
