yet another article to compound the pressure on defense
Https://penguin-news.com/headlines/2024/new-falkland-islands-port-contract-negotiations-begin/
just a couple more details on this project; as per the link
I'm presuming the barges mentioned at the bottom of the article are part of the main Floating Dock Contract?
In 21' all companies got an extension in UK and I am sure there were many that used it too.
There is so much currently going on with the company a.t.m. that I imagine that the c.f.o. is working v hard.
I currently see very little the bod doing wrong i.m.o. so will agree to disagree and leave it there..
Findingtheta 12:17 If Ukef doesn't come through,I think we will all be looking for someone to take the fall and Arun i'm sure will fit the bill then.But when he's not in control of UKEF timeframe, and also dealing with rapid company growth and perhaps waiting for the Falklands job to become a contract proper ,should we not give him the benefit of the doubt until then.
Yes, LSE K.. SiD Thanks for some proper more relevant information on day to day stuff,rather than a banal discussion about Plan B in a header titled "Takeover Likely" ??
Suggest the poster at least start a new title. maybe- " Now, How Can I get the P'I's crapping themselves about not having a Plan B in place,so I can stir some more S..t up " might do...
As far as I know the Audit committee of UKEF meet quarterly. Whether they ratify all approvals etc at these meetings who knows but i'm thinking if your application misses out, it could be a good while to the next one? if that's even the way they operate.
I still can't fathom the thinking that for ages apart from Finance, most talk has been about trying to win contracts etc. and when what seems to be a possible opportunity to go for a £300m + contract that its somehow not viable. How are the company going to get to 500m revenue if that's the case. If enough money is thrown at a problem,you can find solutions.
Its probably a bit daft for someone to build a rocket to go to Mars and even dafter for some people prepared to pay a fortune to get into it, but guess what it happens...
SiD Santa Maria and Mayflower replica's already done;as you would well know, and I believe they are very popular.
One mans fool is another mans genius.
I sort of agree with both sides on this. but my heart rules my head and it would garner so much attention worldwide if built in Belfast compared to any other shipyard. At the end of the day it would be about potential profit. A major part of the cost would be fit out for this type of ship; and with MJM down the road, its going to be a hard one to turn down...
Guessing again on Northstar but on reflection, I cant see it being batteries. They can go direct to Echandia anyway. Just to add, Fincantiri laid off and I believe sold two of the 5 VARD yards in 2019 due to downturn. So perhaps they do not now have the yard capacity or workforce to build up again quickly to cope with a sudden increase in orders.maybe looking to sub out some fabrication?. VARD also picked up a 200m contract for a cable ship in dec23 along with Northstar
That's interesting with North Star. Hard to find who maintains all these vessels currently.
It would be especially interesting if H & W were able to do something with batteries on the
smaller vessels, it would certainly be beneficial for both parties regarding green credentials.
