Too many Terramares for one day. :)
Just posted pics of Samson on FB

Stokey is on first name terms with JW so I wouldn't get away with it, LSE. Also, being a known trouble maker, there may already be photo fits of him in the guard house and tbh, Bubbles is probably too well know from staring in the Trailer Park Boys. So I went with my best salty sea dog disguise just to blend in. Did have it confirmed that it was indeed the Samson that was there. Must be sailing under it's previous name as I can't imagine they could sail in stealth mode with the tracker turned off. Just had a quick look around the area on Marrine Traffic but nothing that fits the bill. Another tug named the Obervargh over at Hugh Town on Scilly but no LC's to be seen. Maybe one of those live streaming twitcher cams might be the answer. I'll pop in and see Q after debriefing. :)
What survey vessel K? Not jw's brothers boat surely? :)
Would have thought the AW would be classed as a passenger vessel not freight.
Fwiw, the Terramere as pulled alongside exactly where I reported the "could be" Samson was earlier in the week. Have they come to tow it back down to Penzance or brought crew up to do so? Might have to nip down for a nosey. :)
Sure he said the AW was being painted in Spain before being brought over. ??

The Samson, pics shown on the scrutiny committee video as well as a newly aquired Crew Transfer Vessel that was also mentioned on video. As yet, whereabouts unknown.
Not sure about the Lundy Puffin though.
Has been confirmed, by herself, on a number of occasions, FT. Originally thought, like others did/do, that she was Lisa D from NGC using another account once hers went quiet. Timelines kind of matched. Maybe for reasons of safety and so not revealing her true identity. As there are some wierd stalky types that frequent these boards I guess you can't be too careful. Main reason I stayed quite in openly expressing that thought when a lot of new posters arrived after the FSS. Up to the individual if they want to keep their identity to themselves and not for others share if they don't want it known.
Exhibited at this event yesterday.

Okay. I was just re-reading the Marine Project Update RNS from early Feb and just wondered if anything had changed in regards to that site preparation work. I did trawl throught some of the posts around the time of the last IMC presentation for some clarity. Guess I was hoping for some leap of faith on QFI's part to have everything in place a ready to go.
Thanks.
What's the current situation regarding the delivery, installation and commissioning of the MMU for the MAC2 facility in Antwerp? Is that still dependent on getting the toll manufacturing agreement signed with Cargill? Or can it / is it being done preemptively given this news?
Good to see us up in the top 5 on the risers board, btw. :)
Was looking at floating docks in general and saw this concept from Tugdock. Bit of a southwest connection as well.

Beat me too it LSE. :)
Couldn't see any RHIB's but plenty of patrol vessels in their extensive list of vessels though.

Thanks Stokey. I note these details were published on the 2nd April with only a month to submit a bid. Obviously we have no indication of H&W getting involved with a bid. But then, do we ever. Not sure about the inflatables being a good fit but maybe something Austal could help with? One to watch, I guess.

"The Authority acting through Border Force (BF) is conducting a review of its maritime capabilities with potential for a replacement of the current fleet. The current fleet consists of 5 Cutters and 6 Coastal Patrol Vessels (CPVs)."
Currrently the five cutters are RHIB's (rigid hull inflatable boat) and the an example of one of the Coastal Patrol Vessels (CPVs) would be HMC Vigilant. See link below
"It is expected that UK, British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies suppliers will be allowed to bid for this opportunity. They may submit bids with international sub-contractors or they may form joint ventures or consortia or similar with international parties, subject to appropriate legally binding agreements being in place.
Suppliers who are interested in participating in our market engagement are requested to submit their expression of interest by 17:00hrs on 3rd May 2024"

Not taken as a poke. And glad i'm not alone in my evaluation :) But, fwiw, I am actually out in the "shed" pottering about, sorting the workshop for the next few projects coming up. Interspersed with a bit of gardening , tending the bees and mostly getting sidetracked and daydreaming. All the good stuff I've missed working away for so long. And, I get to watch the markets and interact with such nice people, and now Ms. Calls as well. Who could ask for more. :)
Yo, dog. Maybe read the FT for such insight. That's where most people would go to get the low down on current business news not some backwater message board. Maybe read an RNS or two if you want something company specific or more detailed whilst you decide.
Already in there, K. :) Laptop and old monitor set up and pottering away.
