Benno takes the credit for that find. That should be very good for volume through the port and £££ for WSG :-)
Hapag Lloyd makes Tema Terminal 3 first port of call in Africa

Absolutely Jimzi it is just a possibility, although I am aware of another snippet of info (but not one that I can share) which in my view also points strongly to Kenya, but again it isn’t conclusive.
Whether we do airside or not is totally irrelevant. If a stowaway can get into and hide in an airliner's landing gear at an airport, its security isn't sophisticated.
Its also pointless trying to make a tenuous case for virtually any country in Africa when we know that this particular potential contract is in East Africa. In fact it would be pretty dumb to look anywhere else other than East Africa when we have been told it is East Africa. I'm also quite confident, although not absolutely 100% certain, that it is a GMT+3 time zone country too, so that narrows it down further still. The new terminal at Dar Es Salaam was opened at the beginning of August, so I think it is also probably safe to assume that it isn't Tanzania, so that narrows it down just a little further still.
As I said, we also know that the airport is having an internal reorganisation. Now it turns out that Nairobi is replacing its CEO. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.
Yeah, so sophisticated that stowaways fall into London gardens from the landing gear of aircraft flying from Nairobi as they approach Heathrow. Very sophisticated indeed.
Those of you with a good memory will recall I thought that Kenya was a strong candidate for our African airport MSC.
Wherever it is/was we know that it is/was awaiting of an internal reorganisation.
Noticed this recent article

Plus, it seems that they have been having difficulties with previous suppliers

Also the merger with KQ has finally been called off as well

If and a big if it is Kenya then all of the above should hopefully be good news for us.
Mike GP - 16 Sep - "... who's the little tinker who has invested 9p to buy one share and start the rumour mill? Foxxy is that you being mischievous?"
Aiming - 17 Sept - "there was a 1 code yesterday, the shares have tanked this morning on no news.....it's really here! we're going to be rich, rich i tell you!"
"but a lot has come from options" Has it? Even if that is the case, shares from the conversion of options still need to be paid for, they aren't free. How many options has he converted into shares Aiming and at what exercise prices were they?
I call it Gold Ingot Syndrome. If you were to give them a gold ingot they’d only complain that it was too heavy.
I doubt it, I know Denning was old but that was 1893 Court of Appeal.
You mean Carlil v Carbolic Small Ball Co. Jimzi, the precedent for the existence of a unilateral contract.
AIMIng a payment on account is a cash payment. If they were just accruing revenue they would state they are accruing revenue.
“If we were being paid, he’d say so. No reason not to, He hasn’t. We’re not.”
We are :-)
Morning muppets, so who was saying
“We’re not being paid”, “we’re doing it all for free”, “we’re a charity” “if we we’re getting paid he’d have been shouting about it”?
Big, I can’t see MPS announcing fully operational if one of their main contractors is on probation.
Also, I can’t see WSG agreeing to go on unpaid probation for months on end, if at all, when it seems that MPS asked us to do the gig just 2 weeks prior to opening the new £1.5bn facility. If that isn’t a strong negotiating position I don’t know what is.
Just to split hairs with you Mike. The terms of a contract can be finalised between the parties without signatures being put at the bottom of a page.
I’m guessing that the drone strike at the Abqaiq refinery and Khurais field might help focus DT’s mind on lifting sanctions on Iran selling its oil.
