Looks like Boris has been busy in all things NI last 24 hours
The event at the QEII Centre in Westminster, opened by Mr Lewis, has been described as the highlight of the Northern Ireland Office’s Centenary programme.

It followed a Number 10 reception hosted by British prime minister Boris Johnson and a City of London Corporation reception at London’s Guildhall last night.

Mr Johnson said the British government will “continue to promote Northern Ireland interests”.

No poblem Bubble i have been called far worse lol
Highlight for me today was Ben Wallace
"For the first time we are releasing a 30-year pipeline of all Government vessel procurements."
That will mean a lot for ongoing work security for both the yards and the staff that in the industry.

All going on today !!

He seems to be enjoying it .

Defence Secretary Ben Wallace announces National Ship Building Office during DSEI 2021
This part is very interesting!!
Later this year I’ll be publishing the National Shipbuilding Strategy Refresh, that will not just extend our scope well beyond the purely naval to commercial shipbuilding but also reach beyond just hulls to internal systems and sub-systems.

So what will it mean for you and the industry?

You will get a much clearer demand signal about what we are trying to achieve with our procurement programmes.

For the first time we are releasing a 30-year pipeline of all Government vessel procurements.

As well as MOD vessels, this will include ships such as those procured by Home Office; the Departments for Transport, Defra, and the Scottish Government.

Today, we premiered our QEC case study for large ship readiness. This BMT REMBRANDT simulation shows the QEC enter our Belfast with ease. We have the capacity, we have the capability and we are ready to welcome the Royal Navy home to Belfast. #DSEI2021 #DSEI

@Capdevila11 "the construction that you display is beyond awful."
Good evening sir do you care to elaborate so that i can just become "aweful*

Hi chris i agree it does show great detail and understanding very similar to the question TTNY asked about INFAs response to DAERA
This is from RPS who are very respected in this field (an aim listed company) very thorough and considering all options
https://www.daera-ni.gov.uk/sites/default/files/consultations/daera/marine-environmental-conditions-update_0.pdf

Personally i think it will come down to the science as Mr Poots mentions and mainly if a need for gas storage is required again as TTNYs post has already pointed out the potential risk to energy security along with Kilroot changing to gas with a £600 mill energy park very near IM

Hi Stokey hate to be pesemistic but dont think we have built a cruise liner in 40 odd years mate
Also if they are looking for staff i guess the contract has been awarded however would love to be wrong.

Is that the one that works for Faststream Recruitment Group Stokey ?

Hope they have good public liabillity insurance.....someone is going to trip on that carpet lol

Hi TTNY you make some valid points about IM regarding questions that have been asked by DAERA The relevant documents can be found here .

Anounced today this will kick off the offshore/floating wind fabrication projects
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/biggest-ever-renewable-energy-support-scheme-backed-by-additional-265-million

Morning Stokey H@W have given the Gov quite a bit of advice on shipbuilding let’s hope they listen to some of it
Well worth a read if you haven’t seen it before

https://committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/36599/pdf/

On top of upcoming government contracts to build vessels for the UK Border Force and Coastguard Agency, half of which to date have been constructed in foreign yards, there is booming demand for crew transfer vessels. These typically are 25-metre boats that ferry construction and maintenance workers to wind farms off the UK’s coastline, at present the world’s biggest such programme of offshore wind development. It is thought that there is demand for 180 of these vessels — costing £3 million apiece — over the next decade.

Behind a paywall but should get an idea of story
