We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
At least we have the brand new Stena Edda coming in very soon now ( she is waiting at the Cruise berth) to fill the short gap between other scheduled visitors .Apparently nothing to worry about from the Chinese builder's point of view ..just a few plates have come loose and the bearings need some oiling ...will be a great photo opportunity to see her in Dry Dock just like the Vikings.A good sign that we are keeping Stena Line on board ( so to speak ?)
Excellent find,Chris --Stena Horizon has now returned to Rosslare ...not sure of the reason for her visit to Belfast and whether H&W were involved in the minor emergency works ?
So true !! Loosegoose and I are still very much here supporting JW and team to the full and his long term strategy .So too is Stephen R despite us all PI’s having to take a hit with our percentage holdings to accommodate and make way for the “big boys”... and they are all very welcome as long as they share our positive views!!!
May be with us for 4-5 days for urgent maintenance work !! --Waiting at the Cruise Ship Quay !!
Possibly to be followed by Stena Horizon ... you never Know !!
....... is currently berthed alongside the Cruise Liner terminal --very handy to replace Stena Scotia when work on that beauty is finished !!
......may be coming our way very soon for overhaul works as she is being replaced on the Rosslare -Cherbourg route by the brand new Stena Embla ---The route out of Rosslare is a hot one now that Brexit is done as it allows trade between Ireland and the E.U. to be direct and by passing the horrors of Dover etc ...Watch this space !!
Great post and idea .. sorted .. it took 20 mins and addressed the need for employment at Larne and Belfast, for security of energy supply and,most importantly, the fact that all our extensive surveys and tests have shown that we are well within limits for preserving ecological standards and concerns!!! The more the better !!
Don’t forget .....Any extra shares applied for are likely to be scaled back pro rata .. I use II too and the adjustment (if any!) will be shown when the payment schedule is announced and you will then have to have the appropriate amount in the account .. judging by all the positive comments on this board and from my own contacts the rather minuscule amount of our offer is likely to be well oversubscribed—-we shall soon see though I could be wrong if Covid negativity affects !!!
ME TOO ...should be a most interesting week next week ..one to anticipate with excitement and am not talking about having the jab..though that will increase the feeling !!
.... has arrived in Belfast hot from China .. great article and Video on the NI Ferry site .. Belfast now has 3 sister ships of this Class operating .. only wish that they had been built by us !!?
You too,Stokey, and do keep up your often prolific and informative posts in 2021 .. you may well be very busy, and sooner than later , dear friend!!
.....and safe & Covid free Christmas to all here and especially to our stupendous Board and Management Team at Harland but even more especially to all the workers there for making it such a success despite all the odds and issues/difficulties in 2020 .. roll on for a truly expectant and exciting 2021
And significant mention made of the urgent need to modernise the fishing fleet ... Appledore looks an even better bet !!!
Thank you,Ban, four your usual decent courtesy.. if we are at £1.00 by end of Q1 2021 then for the second time I shall eat my hat !!! With gleeful pleasure.
By the way I have had some trouble with this post as I have had some quite interesting interruptions from JD Sports adverts featuring scantily clad ladies. LSE is evolving indeed !!!

Q1 2022 maybe ..who knows ...at this rate 2021 could turn our even worse than 2020.
We have such a bright future if somehow the Government will proactively back heavy industry when free of E.U. constraints and, dare I say, help us secure the ML at IM and then allow us perhaps to cost effectively reduce the equity in the project.... freeing up more funds to invest in the yards and Team Resolute with Navantia ....and , as reported below, secure some "cheap " borrowing at current rates --Government backed if necessary.
JW is very brave to start shipbuilding in the U.K from scratch in a formerly defunct and half abandoned yard ..but only he and his new team can do it ...nobody else could be bothered or have vision ...so there !! Roll on 2022 !!!!
Great to see the SP holding steady at around 47p above the Placement Offer.. speaks volumes as does the reason for the Offer. We need to invest invest and invest in up to-date technology and machinery...If only we could concentrate on wealth creating investments as here rather than giving attention to nail bars booze outlets and the like all the time as per the daily news items !!
Excellent !!
Thanks, Tango, for your valued interest in my well being.. much appreciated and well flattered.
Am still very much invested and read the blogs from time to time.
Can’t agree more with those commenting about today’s news being a little negative yet the SP has held firm .. that itself speaks volumes and we now have an indication of a published and more open dialogue with Daera .. JW and team did so well to change direction in 2019 when funds were short IM was stalled and Infa was going nowhere, except down the proverbial hole in the Loch .. now look at us .. stay confident for 2021 .. good riddance 2020. !!
