Strategically this makes some good sense - there is a pipeline of potential work in Scotland as the elderly ferries come up for renewal. The islanders up there want a better service and the government wants a more efficient build with less delays. Whoever gets the work will need proven recent experience of ferry services and ferries. With the maritime support company Harland bought recently in Penzance and the Austral tie up they are getting their ducks in a very nice row to be able to tender a serious bid when the time comes.

Early on there's a statement that the council has received a petition signed by over 1200 islanders protesting at the steamship company's decision to take private funding and raise prices. The council have noted this and will debate it at a further meeting but the chair stated that the petitioners' views matched his own.

I finished listening after about 10 minutes so over to the next person with some time to spare......

The AUKAS agreement for submarines was a major indication of Australia, the UK and the USA working together to share the strategic development and manufacture of products for the defence industry. BAE are major players in this and the knowledge transfer in this proposed deal for Harland is strategically important. Great work!

Interestingly their crowd funder has only raised a smidge over £2000 out of their £5000 target so costs may have something to do with this 'mention'.

I have posted the following comment on Janice's article on Times Live :

Wrong Janice, factually so wrong! The contract was not awarded to Spain! It was awarded to a consortium that includes Harland & Wolff as well as Navantia and the iconic Belfast shipyard is already gearing up for this with new infrastructure and new staffing - hundreds of apprenticeships have been created. Much of the fabrication work will be done in Belfast by UK citizens. On this occasion you've been spoonfed half a story. Ms Eagle recently visited the yard in Belfast and knows the truth.

King Joules - some of the affected are to be found marshalling their thoughts on another external forum. See my thread from a few days ago for directions

Many on here have said that they want to continue to discuss action.
In response I have set up a trial forum in case these threads are lost too.

I have created a forum where we can group. This will enable us to register interest and then a plan to move forward. I don't think we should use it for long as I'm not sure it's very secure. Happy to help with IT but not to run Class Act!

I'm only a tidler with a few thousand shares but I know a smelly rat when I come across one. Interested in exploring class action on fraud basis.
