I see on the Belfast Harbour page that the P & O ferry European Highlander is due to dry dock in Belfast on 2nd April.
It's great to see a new customer and particularly a new customer like P & O. Could this be the start of more P & O ships starting to utilise H & W ? Hopefully it could be !
I think it was maybe Dawski that mentioned here last week about a potential new customer at the start of April. Well done that man, your crystal ball is a good one (if this is the new customer you were thinking about), lol.
ThisTimeNextYeer In relation to your 09.33 post I checked the Belfast Harbour page earlier and that information was not on so was updated within the last 2 hours. Interestingly that means there will be only one day with the dry dock being empty. Hope you are right about P&O. I note that the Building Dock has been empty for a while hopefully that will come back into use soon.
TTNY,yes good news and dawski did mention it ,there maybe more new customers yet these around British isle cruises are getting taken up fast ,we trying to get booked on Msc cruises atm
Shucks.... nearly right Mr. “This time In About Three Year’s Time “ which is about the time span for finalising a certain licence .. I was April fooled as I was expecting the Highlander to berth tomorrow from my source in the sector but there has been a short logistical delay . Will eat half my hat but, hey, this is fabulous news as we enter the harbour on our long voyage and will overshadow other issues for a while .Securing P&O is a real coup for the H&W team .. and well done indeed....just hoping that the contract is not too tight .
E Causeway is scheduled for work soon possibly and if correct and she comes to us , that is an added bonus . So enjoy this bit of good news today whilst you can !!
A bit more info on European Highlander. It's now showing on the Belfast Harbour page that it's scheduled to be in dry dock until 23rd April.
It must be getting more than a wee lick of paint and a freshen up if it's in for 3 weeks.
Thanks ThisTimeNextYear, indeed a decent stay with a sister vessel following immediately afterwards? I am very interested to see the revenue in the interims in the coming weeks. My guess >8m for the 6 months. Not earth shattering but moving in the right direction: solid business, building credibility, building capability, some new customers coming in, good foundation, basic capex done with more to come for bigger contracts which are sure to come. Now for that ML RNS tomorrow morning?
......and European Causeway may be with us for most of May .. again for a full service and bottom scrape .. not just an oil change .. fantastic news really today overriding the non news (so far ) re “the other matter”!! The team at the Yard are working well and that includes the contract estimators.
Loosegoose In relation to your 17.48 post I would agree with your estimate on likely income for the six months to January. This is assuming that INFA did not get anything for the two TV series that were filmed around Belfast Harbour.
