dawski378; I have reached out to some friends in the industry. You don't need classed drawings for a quotaion, class drawings come well down the track, especially since some shipyards need to submit different detailed drawings to class for approval as they may use different equipment compared to another yard. So even 'serial' class drawings need to be resubmitted for class approval. What you need for a quotation is the specifications, vessel GA and makers list. Once the yard has that information; then they do the pricing; then the parties negotiate on the price and get to the point of signing a contract. During the negotiation for the contract price then there could also be stipulations on either side for POF, POF for the Buyer and POF for Builder. Any of the very large vessel brokers will tell you that the Buyer, no matter who they are, or how big they are, or how big a bank account they have, can actually raise funds / allocate funds for a vessel build without a quotation and build schedule. The duration of the build schedule and the quotation also verify to the if the project would be viable. So in saying that if the LOI signed with Triumph stated a price and schedule and then this VROM came in much higher and much longer then of course no financiers would touch it. How could Triumph move without a firm price and schedule?
Also I did not see anywhere about Triumph actually had a charter with a U.K. Plc. Where is this information..
I also could not agree more with you. We are so lucky to have Valhalla14 on our side as he certainly is a font of all knowledge.. I can only but imagine that all of those years as an Offshore Rigger account for a lot of real life experiences. To have the powers and ability that has to be able to call the Croatian yard and find out all the details of Triumph are incredible, It must be an amazing ability as surely the yard would not just release that information to anyone. But I would imagine all those years of dragging knuckles on the back would make you one smart RIGGER.
Teletubbies and we know what the BBC did to them. They got banned and sacked.
oldtramp, no LNG conversions are not really viable as it is more of a short term solution for vessels.. Battery packs and other options seem to be the fuels of choice.
spudtheplumber, your are correct Karen01 sure is back to the badmouthing of Triumph.
But then again is she?
a) Drodericks wife or;
b) Droderick dressed in drag.
Seems you only appeared to throw rocks at Triumph. How for example could Infa possibly have managed the PB for the Triumph builds when they had to sell shares to raise funds for a small project.. But then again seems your the font of all knowledge
Teletubbies and we know what the BBC did to them...
stokey12 - Of interest will be the allowance of the MOD to accept that Team Resolute may even pass the PQQ. I would imagine that you are not aware that you need a turnover of at least 1.5 Billion to be able to bid. Yes some of the partners are well up to that level but the Infrastrata group is not even close. This will be an interesting one to watch.
Jabido - gloomy for sure..
TELETUBBIE
Nobby31- Yes your correct. What would happen if some big name money sticks it head up behind these Triumph guys. The JW and AR circus will have some 'Please Explain'.
Karen01 - certainly looks like you have an agenda or your part of the JW and AR circus. Any company that needs to raise funds for PB for a 26m project could not possibly be rated by the financiers of anyone building a boat. So you seem to know lots about the Triumph project and the costs, what did Triumph unrealistically want or was it the other way round?? Just asking the question..
morgz1 - if the circus needed to raise funds for a small PB for Saipem, how the hell did they think they could raise the funds to put up the PB or BG for vessels that must surely cost a lot of money..
Nobby 31- No need to make chips.. cheaper than spuds
That would be a good guess..
