FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Feb. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Villa Vie Residences (VVR), the innovative new world cruise brand and residential community at sea, has announced they will send their ship Villa Vie Odyssey to Belfast in cooperation with Harland & Wolff in early March. This voyage marks the beginning of an extraordinary journey, and they have partnered with industry leaders to ensure an unparalleled experience.

From legal presentation, on execution of Wind Farm Agreement for Lease commitments made on Ports and Social Value become binding obligations which will be monitored closely.

Elsewhere, I understand that tenderer must identify 2 ports in their tender documentation, ie have a backup to first port in case problems arise in port availability / agreeing commercial terms.

UKIB presentation is useful in terms of explaining their role and the support they offer. Ports is a key area of investment and they expect to be announcing further individual port news in the next few weeks.

Shows how Crown Estate is evolving and should give an insight into direction of travel for future Crown Estate Leasing Rounds.

Looks like it could reach Belfast if it wanted to today. Could tie in nicely with Stormont and PM's visit.

Not H&W but does explain why they are supporting the business

If you think that H&W operate in a vacuum and politics has nothing to do with their business, then you are more of an eejit ( a label you seem very comfortable to push on other posters ) than I thought.

Correction 215 pists

Political news, Stormont Assembly is up and running for the first time in 2 years, with a £3.3bn funding coming to Northern Ireland and BT who has made 220 comments on H&W in the last month alone is considering trading in H&W shares.

Sunak's there already and both at Stormont tomorrow. Last article says Sunak has a number of appointments tonight / tomorrow.
