Fantastic to have the only marine fabrication footprint that could build all of these vessels concurrently across our four sites in Belfast, Appledore, Methil and Arnish to ensure the platform could enter service as soon as possible.

Finally Appledore gets some apprentices

For what it is worth I think DAERA are covering there backs from any further lengthy objections
If gas/hydrogen storage is in the N.I energy strategy plan and a matter of energy security no objections would have to be considered.

Looks like the good people of Islandmagee have been protesting again.

On a more serious note nothing has been announced on next payment for
Appledore if as announced cash and shares have been released an rns should have been issued regarding extra shares.
Did notice a couple of trades a couple of weeks back which could suggest infa bought them on the open market (which would be good) to satisfy the transaction however it could be they have failed to satisfy the terms of the transaction .
Thoughts gents ?

Stokey a 4th ship is due early Oct could be the Russian ship but looks like the last shipment

Sarens are doing a fantastic job offloading our 3rd vessel with a 4th to arrive in early October.

Looks like the need for gas storage is becoming serious

This is quite an interesting view from LinkedIn regarding contract for FSS ships

Although not mentioned in the press release, Navantia of Spain is included in the Team Resolute consortium Navantia is a state owned employment facilitator which needn't make any profit. Combine that with the political appeal of bringing work on a module or two, plus fitting out and fusion of the modules, to Belfast and possibly Devon, and Team Resolute looks like the favourite.

Stokey I can’t find any link to bluegem or simply blue to Saipem.
My interest is the floating platforms but it is just very speculative research at moment.

Hi stokey do you remember Blue gem wind visited Belfast recently ?
https://www.bluegemwind.com/
Blue gem wind is the name of a joint project Total energies & Simply Blue Group
Simply Blue have a lot of floating wind projects in the pipeline
https://www.offshorewind.biz/2021/08/09/octopus-renewables-invests-in-floating-wind-developer/
Cant see INFA fabricating blades but floating platforms would be a great plan as they are new market also worth noting next round of CFDs is due out soon with floating offshore wind in the mix for the 1st time in pot 2

Published yesterday a long read but some interesting points

Harland and Wolff, the aerospace industry and hydrogen buses and hubs are well positioned to drive the UK’s green industrial revolution as we fulfill our ambitious commitments on climate change and the environment.

There are exciting opportunities emerging for Northern Ireland to be a leader within the UK on hydrogen energy. The Government’s ambitious and detailed Hydrogen Strategy published last month provides the beginning of a road map to realising this.

The comment has gone now from linkedin sure it was just a typo......

Thanks for the replies gents I didn’t realise we had an Australian base or indeed why we would need one.
