Facts. Just depends what you think of this development?
But better than baseless suggestions of P&D eh Petro?
They are crazy not to RNS it they could have got their funding from it, fab went from 3p to 9.5p on a collaboration this week so they could spike the price and raise money job done
Well it seems they don't feel it necessary to RNS yesterday's collaboration? However thanks for the links, info guys, yesterday. I've re-entered, with a £1k. Let's see how it materialise into decent contracts hopefully. Kept an eye on this share for many years, & was invested for a considerable time too; it's about time!?! At this price, has to be worth a re- entry i felt? GLA
If you are wondering why the sudden interest.

T42 and Sateliot have announced a partnership agreement on Linked in , surely RNS worthy
The transition to digitalisation within the US is now gathering pace so I would be expecting the carriers and shippers to be sounding out those companies with the relevant business solutions to assist them with the transition across to digital platforms. Unsurprisingly there's an army of consultants offering to provide assistance led by McKinsey's and the consultancy arms of the BIG 5 firms of Accountants, many of whose existing clients will be affected. They're bending over backwards to offer help, no doubt focussing on the huge fees they'll manage to extract along the way. You'd assume that OpenBox Ventures Inc would have strong links with the major consultancy firms because that's likely to be the route through which the business introductions will come. Fingers crossed on that one but t42 have also spent a lot of additional time at Conferences and Events marketing their unique suite of products. Hopefully that will also help to provide the desired effect and we can look forward to a healthy pipeline of new orders
U.S. port operators have commenced with efforts to improve the supply chain system by utilizing advancements in infrastructure and technology to accommodate bigger ships and manage more cargo. Projects include construction or expansion of roads, bridges and rail to ease congestion in ports, enhance supply chain efficiency, and reduce carbon emissions.
Information technology is being brought to bear to provide enhanced visibility and monitoring of the supply chain. As part of a $1.2 trillion federal infrastructure bill signed in 2021, U.S. ports are receiving billions in funding for revitalization. Seaports are adapting “with deeper and wider channels, as well as new landside projects, thanks to strong federal infrastructure investments.
Shore power systems, renewables and “cutting-edge technology” are amongst innovations that port authorities are implementing.Some of the port projects predate the federal funding actions, or are funded by other programs, such as the POLB’s Middle Harbour Redevelopment project, a 10-year effort that opened in August 2021.The investment came to nearly $1.5 billion for infrastructure, plus another $700 million in cargo-handling equipment, computer and software systems, and workforce training.
Investments in infrastructure and technology are in full swing for other U.S. ports, such as the Port of Camden, North Carolina Ports Authority, Georgia Ports Authority and Virginia Port Authority with several projects completed, near completion or planned.Last year, the U.S. Department of Transportation announced grants totalling more than $703 million through the Maritime Administration’s Port Infrastructure Development Program. Carriers, shippers and consignees are now seeking solutions in the supply chain that provide real-time visibility of cargo movements and speed to market as they commence to invest heavily in infrastructure projects and system integrations. Some ports seeking to expand are constrained because there is limited “industrial [zoned] real estate” nearby. but they are overcoming that limitation by developing inland or dry ports — sites to which containers can be moved out of the port proper, to then be picked up by motor carriers or moved out by rail.
Appreciate the in depth analysis of the wider market/regulatory landscape, nice to see rather than some of the rubbish that gets posted on here
12 days ago MARAD announced over $653 million to fund 41 port improvement projects across the US under the Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP). This will strengthen supply chain reliability, create workforce development opportunities, speed up the movement of goods, and improve the safety, reliability and resilience of ports. This investment represents the Biden Administration’s continued focus on improving U.S. ports and strengthening their supply chains to be more resilient to shocks to the system in the future. The program provides planning support, capital funding, and project management assistance to improve capacity and efficiency of ports in both urban and rural areas. The awards announced include more than $172.8 million for 26 small ports to continue to improve and expand their capacity to move freight reliably and efficiently, thereby boosting local and regional economies while protecting surrounding communities from air pollution. By funding port infrastructure development, the Biden-Harris Administration is ensuring that goods move reliably and in greater quantities, strengthening supply chain resiliency across all modes of transportation, and addressing the negative impacts of port operations on public health and the environment that have harmed communities living near ports. All of this links in with the SHIELD Act, referred to above, and is further proof that the US is already advancing the project to introduce full visibility and resilience into it's supply chains. Hopefully, it's only a matter of time before Business begins to invest into the Digitalisation programme as they prepare to cope with the new legislation which will shortly be brought onto the US Statute Book.
This may all seem a bit long winded but behind the scenes many countries are beginning to take action to protect their commercial interests. What it means for t42 is that for those who have the stomach for this they need to lock their shares away for another 12/18 months by which time we should have some clear indication of hoe successful the BOD have been in pursuing their new business strategy.
Best of luck to everyone.
As the COVID-19 pandemic made horribly clear, America’s reliance on China for making basic things like medicine and critical minerals is a huge liability. This bill shines a light on where other such vulnerabilities exist and helps revitalize their industrial base to fix them. They have realised that their overdependence on foreign manufacturing has hampered their ability to quickly respond to supply chain challenges and meet the needs of America and its citizens. They no longer wish to be reliant on foreign adversaries for essential goods: from technology, to critical minerals, to ingredients for lifesaving drugs. These measure will pave the way for policies meant to enhance resilience along supply chains.
They realise that the supply chain crisis may no longer be front page news, but serious supply chain vulnerabilities persist. The Biden administration’s 100-day supply chain review found that manufacturing supply chains instrumental to their national security and economic welfare remain vulnerable to disruption, strain, compromise and elimination. These vulnerabilities are industrywide and affect every American.
Consequently they intend to legislate and introduce new laws and regulations which will require close collaboration between Customs and Port authorities. They are pressing for enhancing interoperability between Customs’ and Port's digital systems which will force Customs administrations and port authorities to take and advance the digitalization agenda. This will necessitate sharing data in a collaborative manner between port community stakeholders to optimize a vessel port call and minimize berth waiting time. By adopting a common agenda with a solid, sustainable governance structure in place to exchange “single truth” data, ports and customs authorities can ensure supply chain security, thus improving trade facilitation in their respective countries.
Businesses will therefore be forced to participate in the digitalisation of their internal processes and systems , failing which they won't be able to function as they will be excluded from the supply chains. The UK, EU, Canada, Australia , New Zealand, South America and some Middle East countries are also seeking to take similar steps as the US have already indicated that these requirements will be formulated within International Trade Agreements and countries won't be able to trade with the US unless they adopt similar protocols.
This is all a bit long winded but in essence it points towards the fact that Businesses will be compelled to digitalise or they'll fall by the wayside. The US aim to have this up and running within 12 months so you'd think that Business is going to be compelled into making this investment very soon . When they do, t42, Traxens, Orbcomm, Nexxiot and all our competitors will be fighting to grab this huge marketing opportunity and that is when we should begin to see some material orders being placed.
The company has made the right products and the technology is cutting edge. The simple problem is the time it's taking the industry to transition from analogue to digital. They're competitive on pricing and have successfully completed many proofs of concept. However, the sad fact remains that there's currently a reluctance by business to make the appropriate investment.
Some may have been deterred by rising interest rates which have increased the cost of borrowing. Our closest competitor, Traxens, a French company are encountering the same problems as they're also struggling to get their customers to integrate their fully functioned products into their container units and they've spent more than we have on a wide marketing campaign but have bigger pockets and are better capitalised.
However, there are some promising signs on the horizon as inflation shows some signs of subsiding and interest rates may soon begin to drift downwards. Current geopolitical tensions have many developed nations seriously concerned about the security of their supply chains and there are clear signs that they intend to do something about this. Just over a fortnight ago the WCO and IAPH participated at the IAPH World Ports Conference 2023. Before an audience of over 600 people made up exclusively of Port CEOs, maritime supply chain stakeholders, senior government officials and international advisors, the Deputy Secretary General provided delegates with an insight into how both Port authorities and their governing bodies can partner with Customs authorities to facilitate smoother trade and cargo flows in their maritime supply chains.
They addressed some of the current challenges for cooperation between Customs and Ports. Against a global context where enforcement requirements are increasing in parallel with the need to accelerate the flow of legal goods, it is important to understand how Customs administrations around the world are managing their relationships with maritime supply chain stakeholders, particularly Port authorities. They highlighted the need for an established governance framework, the use of technology focused on interoperable systems, as well as better and more data management to boost the visibility and resilience of supply chains.
As usual the USA are leading the way on this front and recently and have recently brought forward Legislation designed to strengthen operations along domestic supply chains and this was recently introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. This is known as the SHIELD Act and are in the process of establishing an Office of Economic and Security Preparedness and Resilience to secure their supply chains. This will set priorities and coordinate efforts among federal agencies and industry to continuously map, monitor and analyze supply chains that are critical to the national security of the United States.
Well they would say that wouldn’t they, meanwhile, shareholders are down 75% since the rebranding. So many false dawns with no substantial orders to show for it for years on all products. I don’t know how this can carry on unless the new backers just take it private, if they feel like the company will succeed, which they could do for peanuts at the current market cap. There are many stale longs here looking to get out on a bounce that any rally will be stopped in its tracks and the market makers know this as there are no fresh buyers to support a rally. Try selling a decent holding of say 500,000 shares and the market will be back to a penny. Who’s going to crack first? This company has simply not made products that the market wants to buy
Hi there
In response to your question - Management still positive.
Anything positive from yesterdays AGM come up, or was it all doom and gloom?
Does anyone know how to dial into the AGM?
I am so done with this. Around 8 years and counting - so many false dawns and opportunities - which basically just turn out to be 'pilot schemes' or tiny volumes of product at cost. Surely someone that relies on the tech - CropX etc can just vertically integrate and put this dog down. anything north of 5p and i'm voting for it.
£2.5K of sells and we drop 14%. Where else could this happen?
With the current situation in israel....this could be very flakey in the short term and burn quite a bit of cash
What's the cash flow like on this now? Is a cash call coming very soon
50 percent down since your last buy ....you must be the curse in this share when you sold it rose when you buy it falls
I am expecting news
