An interesting point is refit of Azure was meant to be carried out at Navantia dry dock Spain

https://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/22700-key-cruise-ship-drydocks-in-april.html

Chitta have a look at this over bearing in mind the 2 power stations they own 1 being gas and one to be converted to gas / hydrogen which in the future will be able to run on 80 % hydrogen
Think you will find islandmagee is in the middle of the 2
Highly speculative but see what conclusions you come too

Have a great weekend all

To avoid any confusion this is the link to the delay in the refurbishment
https://www.worldofcruising.co.uk/cruise-news/azura-po-cruises-cruise-ship-secret

Stokey from the link "However, due to the global pandemic, Azura’s time in dry-dock has been delayed with as yet no inkling as to when she will receive the refresh she deserves."
So who knows but looks unlikely as it was offshore in Devon for most of 2020 before moving to Newcastle
As for an RNS ??

Thanks Stokey you might find this interesting it gives some idea of cruise liner costs for refits and dry docking etc....quite an eye opener

Stokey in reply to your 05.07 post am I right in thinking SRQ means Ship Repair Quay ?

Good find gents I see it was originally meant to have a multi million pound refit in April 2020 but was cancelled due to COVID
https://www.worldofcruising.co.uk/cruise-news/azura-po-cruises-cruise-ship-secret

In April 2020, Azura was set to receive an extensive multi-million-pound refit. This included an overhaul of the open decks incorporating an improved alfresco bar and food experiences, new canopies and deck furniture, and revitalised pool areas.

Inside, passenger favourites including the Blue Bar, Brodies and Malabar were set to receive enhancements, along with a ship-wide makeover with new carpets, furniture and furnishing across all public spaces.

I see Porterbrook has taken over Long Marston Rail Innovation Centre looks like a new home for Hydroflex

Stokey /Blair thanks very much appreciated

Good evening Blair do you mean no to shipbuilding or O/S Wind farm jackets I noted that Saipem have started using mono piles

Evening gents do you think new builds on ships is the way forward ? The renewable sector ie Saipem contract for jackets along with refurb of cruise liners/ferries etc is more appealing to me

Interesting article asking gov for Hydrogen train fleet orders mentions Hydroflex

GLA OT

Stokey time will tell

Stokey if maritime gets sold would you not think that was a good use of funds ?
Obviously they would be held in treasury

Evening gents am I correct in thinking a trading update is due next month ?

Not sure what to make of this

Probably nothing at all to do with islandmagee but interesting all the same.

Maybe the company should look at this tech it produces lithium and hydrogen from very saline water very cost effectively
