This is what I got back from NI unite union when I asked about H&W and frigate work

Bab****'s original build strategy for T31e had been aligned with the intent of the National Shipbuilding Strategy (NsBS) by adopting a distributed build approach whereby elements of the work would be undertaken in Yards across UK namely, England (Bab**** - Appledore), Scotland (Ferguson), NI (H&W) with assembly in Scotland (Bab**** - Rosyth).



Although H&W had been part of the Bab**** led consortia, we understand it was as a sub-contractor not a risk bearing partner. Meaning H&W would be required to bid for T31e work.



Upon entering Administration, the T31e agreement between Bab**** and H&W formally ended and Bab**** proceeded to submit their T31e bid at the end of June 2019, based on all activities being undertaken in Rosyth.

However, Bab**** have stated that sub-contracting would be considered for T31e if and when it made sense to do so e.g. capacity and/or schedule driven demands.



More generally, the wider (proposed) 30 year naval shipbuilding program provides further opportunities for H&W and other UK Yards. To that end, local Union representatives are pushing for Government policy which would mandate a UK wide workshare and emphasised that full economic prosperity benefits and retention of skills across all regions should be a prime consideration in policy development.

Posted a day ago - JW linked in post “It’s good to see Clipper Arrow in our main dock at #harlandandwolff, the first vessel to have docked here for many years. It brings into focus how large and strategic this dock is and the multiple vessels that can be docked concurrently to increase our capacity during peak periods of demand.

When it leaves next week it will be closely followed by a short docking for essential repairs to a vessel.

The momentum is certainly starting to build again, which is very encouraging.

Brings back memories - I worked for MHI in Singapore and Japan late nineties and had a tour of that ship mid construction - now in H&W dock - launched 2000 so I’m sure will need a good overhaul and some engine updates . Must be RNS worthy ... INFA need to take a lesson from VRS Who RNS if some one farts - got to be contract news worthy you would think

good to see 2 more RNS re director dealings

Didnt think they were allowed to raise under 1p

25.5M shares for you records Si

WTF are they trying to do here - drop, raise, sell higher than ask, then vice versa - very odd

AA sets up dedicated line for NHS workers if they breakdown on route so they can support the NHS and keep NHS workers on the road - fair play to them - they asked NHS how can we help and this the request

AA dont underwrite the insurance - its done by Cigna from memory - they are a shop front rather than financing the terms of policies

Message from JW on linked-in this morning
“ looking into the future, we are very optimistic. We see the focus of our government on creation of employment and security of energy supply. Business opportunities continue to build up for Harland and Wolff across all the sectors. Since the acquisition, the Harland and Wolff team continue to put down strong foundations in order to capitalise on growth opportunities. These opportunities that were in the distant horizon till recently are now gradually being converted into real and substantial commercial contracts. We will continue to pursue them on a business-as-usual basis. In the short term, we have multiple ships that are planned to dock over the next six weeks in order to ensure that critical transportation vessels remain in service.”

It is intriguing as to what the meeting at no10 was about

The arrival of Dublin Swift is the start of a busy period in the Belfast dry dock at Harland and Wolff, we have been juggling dates to keep all our new clients happy. #INFA creating jobs and creating economic growth.

Good February mining quantity update should certainly help - so come on Arb you must know what you have achieved in feb so let’s get a good RNS out !!

Was this a result of the US Marshall sale of $40m bit coins they auctioned off this week?

So another (say) $2m licence agreement, the Plant itself to be bought off AEG and then 600,000 Tons a year at $5/ton royalty - this will be a cash cow if it all comes off.

Dave - I left the twitter board because of your war and peace complaints and moaning - let’s try and be positive for what has been hard work and we are where we are - please don’t start on here with the how it would have been great if you had done it - all very tiresome.

Glad I’m not the only one who couldn’t find it - thought I was just being thick haha

This was in the news today - H&W mentioned towards the bottom

“The development of this new class of warship involves several contractors such as Thales, OMT, BMT, Harland and Wolff and Ferguson Marine, who all work on the development platform Team 31.”
