I have rechecked the listing for the Court of Appeal for the 17th June & there is no mention of the IM JR this must be a late adjustment but at last we have something to follow & I and others will now register in order to watch proceeding.

It is now a race between the IM JR & getting news on the finance deal.

'Inspiring the next generation of Marine Engineers in Belfast

We were delighted to welcome the Tall Ships Youth Trust, Shimna Integrated College, and Radius Housing to our site. The day was dedicated to showcasing our facilities in action, providing young visitors with insights into a maritime career.

The group participated in a career planning session and enjoyed a full tour of our facilities. We hosted a networking lunch where our young guests had the opportunity to chat with our team and meet industry experts, enhancing their communication and networking skills.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us. Together, we provided a deeper understanding of marine engineering to young people and highlighted the exciting projects that we currently have underway.'

Edit: checked screen page today for Court of Appeal listings for Belfast & no IM JR case listed up & until the 21st June.

Hi All - I have just watched the UTV Live John Wood interview & to say the least H&W in Belfast seem to be cooking with gas.It revealed what is actually happening & wow those gates are enormous.

In my opinion what is there not to like for banks & the Government not to want to support H&W.

I believe it is a matter of time maybe this week maybe next week who knows but it also demonstrates that H&W have found the finance to support the current contracts & we are now in June.

I have reverted back to 'Strong Buy'.

Hi All - Based on todays screen listing for the Court of Appeal Belfast which goes to Monday 17th June IM JR is not listed.Based on the RNS update re finance hopefully we should get an update this week or next prior to any possible IM JR listing.Keep the faith folks not much longer.I have decided to stay 'Strong Buy' as the current SP is 'cheaper than chips'.

Hi EP - Great post & sums the situation up very well .I was not aware that my son had finally got his shares on a site & would have advised him to sell at its peak last night as the SP has now receded more than I had expected.Ian will now still be at a loss thanks to me so he will need to wait.I am expecting a further increase in the SP as more news comes out.

As a rule of thumb having once been invested I would Sell, if in profit, to recover my initial investment & then Hold.

I check every day the SMMT activity so will keep people posted.

Regards

CM

PS I am currently showing Hold

The SP is still rising now at $11.60 I have reverted to Hold . Good luck my son is now in profit after many years.Good luck EP.

Hi All - Positive results on their cancer drug out the evening uk time.

PS: I am showing Strong Sell only to encourage people to get their money back but my son is still not in profit & will Hold.I hope that makes sense.

HARLAND & WOLFF (SCILLY FERRIES) LIMITED - Registration of 'New Articles of Association' 28th May' Resolution of adoption of Articles of Association'

Clearly events have taken place to ring fence the Scilly Ferries operation & suggests H&W are following a legal route to unlock the current impasse.

Document signed by Arun 21st May.

Appendix A - New Articles of Association.

My message to John this evening:

'Great post John I am so glad that you have set the record straight.There are clearly some people who do not want H&W to succeed & they could not be more wrong.

This country needs the like of H&W & its management to succeed to put the 'Great' back into Great Britain.'

Kaeren - Great post so agree with you & John clearly must be reading this board this evening.

I am now showing 'Strong Buy' after this evenings postings by John.

Our Methil yard announced last week it’s clear plan to build two floating dry docks at our biggest facility in the UK, the project known as project Euston has been worked on for several months so we are in a strong position when the bid pack is released. Harland and Wolff with 51% of the marine fabrication capacity in the UK are the only yard that will have that surplus capacity between its Methil and Arnish yards at that time to build this project with T26, T32 and FSS keeping all other yards busy with the expected follow on orders.

Whilst there is lots of speculation in the press Methil and Arnish are clearly front and center of our continued growth.

I think a certain journalist at the Telegraph has had a few to many glasses of wine over the holiday weekend a “Source” told me earlier.

It is business as usual in our facilities as work progresses at pace, are we fighting to get a cheaper rate of finance yes - why not. We do not see the General Election causing us any major issues in our efforts to close the deal. In any event in six weeks time things may change again with a new Government and different Ministers.

Since this story started to run it is interesting to note that not one journalist has managed to attach any of the rubbish they are printing to a factual source or quote an actual person.

To be clear we have no plans or intention to shut or mothball either of our Methil or Arnish delivery centers. This goes completely against our strategic aims and increases risks on our other major programs.

Thanks stokey12 I like others will follow that today.I think what ever is going to happen must be soon. There is a limit to how much this saga can go on for however I am confident the matter will be resolved to our benefit.

Kevan Jones @KevanJonesMP - is standing down at this General Election full details in his letter.

TTNY - Count me in for Belfast or Appledore.Good to see your back posting. Regards CM.

SYN00GOLD - Great post & says it all & is why it will get through the current situation.

Kaeren - So agree more details below.

'I am incredibly honoured to be appointed General Manager at Harland & Wolff and contribute to the growth and success of this iconic brand.

I have joined a business which is vastly different to the one I left in 2019, forward looking, ambitious, pioneering and diverse. It is genuinely exciting to be part of this journey and build on the remarkable progress made to date. I aim to establish H&W as a market leader in Ship Repair and Conversion with the help of 2 of Europe's largest dry docks and a great group of people.

Thank you to John Wood for the opportunity and for breathing life back into the brand. I wish my former colleagues at P&O Ferries all the very best, and the seafarers with whom I spent some of the more rewarding and memorable times. I look forwarding to welcoming you here as customers, Belfast is a world leading venue for a beer....

Lastly I would like to thank the careers officer at Palace Barracks Belfast in 1989 who told a lost 17 year old boy that he was too immature and come back in a year. I came back in a year and I owe so much of what I have today to my foundation as a Royal Navy Marine Engineer Artificer. It wasn't a stellar career by any stretch so no comments necessary from any former colleagues! I certainly embraced the lifestyle and wouldn't be sitting here today without it.'

I think that people need to look at the facts:

1) H&W is now a contender in shipping in NI .

2) It currently has finance that it could borrow more from provided they have sight of positive fcsts.

3) Politically it would be an own goal if H&W failed.

There is more than one way of resolving the current challenge other than 2) above.

Pre-election period of sensitivity

An extract which may effect decisions re H&W:

What is it?

The pre-election period of sensitivity occurs in the weeks leading up to an election or referendum. The period is also called the period of ‘heightened sensitivity’ and in the past was often known by the term ‘purdah’.

It is a time when governments, ministers and civil servants will exercise caution in making announcements or decisions that might have an effect on the election campaign. The exact period depends on the type of election.

The pre-election period for the UK and devolved governments and their civil servants is not set out in law but is governed by conventions.

Backbench and Opposition MPs are not constrained by the pre-election period of sensitivity. However, all MPs, elected politicians and candidates will need to ensure they abide by campaign finance and election law during an election period.

Local authorities have their own set of rules that are set out in statutory guidance (see below).
