RoughStorage, yes this is one of the results of 30 years of government dithering (kwasi Kwarteng statement) if they get 3 diving teams working now they may get finished in time for the winter

This company appear to be making progress , I hope someones knocking on the door

Island Mahee winner at Cartmel today 17/2

Would be surprised if A&P didn't get that work. They've been doing the smaller contracts on the RFA's since time began.

HW not getting the carrier berthing contract may be a blessing in disguise.

AlbertoZ, see the hyDeploy projects with Keele University

Consuela, so what was your previous bb username in the days of infastrata?

Chitta agree sell it on to someone else. I wonder if Kamel Komarek the czech billionaire would have an interest. Allwyn part of the KKCG group have already landed the contract for the national lottery in the uk and are heavily involved in gas caverns in the Czech republic with Gazprom who they are moving away from.

Dave Lewis the ex Tesco chairman was brought in to head this company, proving beyond doubt that getting the right people involved pays off

Stokey weather is the problem also, cant see anything being towed any distance at the moment, I believe they were going to be trying to extinguish the fire before moving the ship. Smits are top class.

The car carrier Felicity Ace owned by Snowscape Car Carriers is on fire off Portugal. I hope HW have a connection with Smit Salvage who are en route to tow it to a as yet unamed european yard.

Let's hope that they have decided to u turn and pursue the £ 4.2 billion (and climbing) fraudulent furlough claims, and re distribute it to worthwhile industries that need some backing

Haemoglolin, yes you need to more research, TonyH your correct on some points, not all. Perhaps both of you didn't notice last weeks announcement by GEG (Nigg Bay) of the tie up with Spanish Haizea Wind Group . The investment of 110 m plus will manufacture Transition Pieces and /or associated parts, they will use a rolling /strip mill for this . RWE for example use a lot of transition pieces. I believe HW were could have been in the yard buying phases whilst the negotiations with the Scottish government for funding , so have missed out on this lucrative package.
I am hoping that HW will concentrate on the floaters to secure their market share in the wind farm industry , There's plenty of work out there. and with fully automated equipment no reason why HW can't secure contracts in the Wind, Ship Buiding Repair work.

Very rare for apprentices' to be on the dole , their on the apprenticeship training scheme and will be moved on very quickly

not impossible

Yes John Wood is a Pict from the Kingdom of Fife . Wood Group PLC under the guidance of Ian Wood started in the fishing industry with the servicing of trawlers from humble beginnings. They took full advantage of the oil boom that hit that area in the seventies. Now we have the boom of the Wind Farms, it's time to take advantage, combined with the ship repairs it's time to start rockin.
Gov Funding surely an impossible

CharlieSays- re your 21.40 post last para I think you will find that the government have been saying for the last few weeks that they won't give any company funding if they have paid dividends or directors have been paid a bonus .

GEG Nigg Bay teams up with Spanish company Haizea Wind Group

A Freeport is good news for any area.
The British Ports Association (BPA)is currently working with officials in the devolved administrations to establish Freeports in Scotland Northern Ireland and Wales.
The bidding process for the English Freeports closed on 5th February 2021

Would seriously advise any company using Devonlive or any of the 240 sites owned by Reach Plc for company news to proof read the article before it goes to print.
