Interesting that ferry service value for customers and arrangement is criticised by Isle of Wight MP. Potential H&W opportunity / learning from the debate to be had. Good to see it being voiced in the House of Commons

Shouldn't the Closing date read 31 March 2024

The Memorandum of Understanding is between IFM Investors, a global investment manager owned by Australian superannuation funds, and the Department for Business and Trade of the UK Government.

It will be signed at the Global Investment Summit 2023 in London by IFM Investors and the Minister for Investment, Lord Johnson.

The Memorandum of Understanding will help to drive the £10bn investment in the UK across large-scale infrastructure and energy transition projects. The investment will help the government to identify commercially viable opportunities in the energy sector.

😀😃, nice one

Call me cynical but I always find it odd that a shareholder in a company feels it is important to put a cap on the price it might rise to over a period of time.

There is this story on BBC

Spending plans to replace CalMac's ageing fleet of small ferries have been pushed back, saving £41m.

Finance Secretary Shona Robison advised MSPs the small vessels replacement plan had been "reprofiled" as had harbour improvements at Ardrossan and Gourock.

Ms Robison told the BBC it meant spending would now fall in the next financial year.

Might suit H&W

"South Korean shipbuilders are seeking overseas production bases through mergers and acquisitions to meet soaring demand across the world as they have secured works for the next five years."

"HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering Co. (HD KSOE), an intermediate holding firm of South Korea’s top shipyard HD Hyundai Co., started considering takeovers of overseas shipbuilders, according to industry sources in Seoul on Sunday.

“We kept the door open for acquisitions of foreign shipbuilders and other measures as we need to compete against Chinese rivals in the long run,” said an HD KSOE executive at an earnings conference call for the third quarter."

Thanks Si_Derman, I didn't realise that.

It would be useful to have an updated view. 👍
