Must be too far out
Never know? They've bought stranger things in the past, like shipyards. lol
I know it's been on the cards for a while, like a few other things, but I've been looking at a mutitude of tugs recently as during the Scilly scutiny meeting JW actually said that they had "acquired " one, along with a CTV. We have seen this one before in Belfast and even though it came up from Southampton (where H&W don't have an office) it's owned by Holyhead Towing.

There's one named Flatholm that looks as if it's out of the water right next to Samson. Which is now live for all to see, btw.

Guess we shall see soon what is going on with it.
Both of the M55's hull's were intact when they were floated into the dry dock. Not sure if they have compromised the integrity ot the Atherstone's hull whist using it for spares for the Quorn. Other than needing to keep them dry whilst doing any repairs to the GRP components of the vessels I'ld Imagine the main reason they were kept inside over this extended period was for security rerasons. Never know who's nosing about. ;) Would certainly have made working conditions easier with ability to disregard the weather. Can't imagine it will be very much longer before they are done with the Quorn anyway. A few more months if they are on track. As regards maneuvering them aroundaround to get the cable barge out. The Altherstone is on the left hand side of the dry dock, looking out, so is adjacent to the mezzanine level where the pic shows the cable barge under construction. I was trying to recall the timeline between the finishing of the Tower Lifeboat Station pontoon and the arrival of the Minesweepers and if they were "in the way" when that was floated out. I'd imagine the main reason to keep them inside is there are no quayside cranes at Appledore anymore. Inside there are a number of heavy lift gantrty cranes to move things in and aropund the vessels. So to answer your question , unless they are desperate for the space I can't imagine they would move them out to work on them. And if they are still there when the FSS work starts then we may have bigger issues. :)
Yeah, good shout. But in the link that was shared a week ago by KMS, it looked a little way off completion. Good if they have got it done as they originally said for spring delivery.

Maybe waiting on the tide to get over the sand bar, but after a lot of faffing about out in the bay the Afon Alaw has now moored up at the Newquay yard. Same place the Terramare and Samson were. So I would guess it's almost certainly something to do with the yard as that is their mooring and not somewhere where a casual visitor to Appledore would park up. Interesting.
Fwiw, you can buy @ 12.74 currently. Earlier it was 12.79 and before that closer to 12.90.
The trades in the 12.60's and lower were sells. Shouldn't have to guess as it's quite easy to do a dummy trade at the time, if you are not sure. Will wait for the big trade to go through to prove me wrong. :)
Seems like the original target that said "VILANOVA_ALGECIRAS" was right. But it should have been read as Vilanova to Algeciras. As Algeciras is a port in the bay of Gibraltor and is where the AW is pulling into at the mo. :) Will have to see what they change the next destination too once it's docked.
Saw a tug buzzing around it yesterday. I'd been expecting it to be leaving a few days ago. Just goes to show how the details on the Belfast Harbour website can sometimes be wrong as they still have as the 24th of May. Vessels of interest all over the place last few days, LSE. :)
I'll show you a picture instead. Previously mentioned landing craft with the Appledore yard across the water. It's alongside the jetty I noticed the four H&W guys on last week. Obviously a secret MOD contract worth eleventy million, so expect this post to be removed.

Seems it had already left the yard, LSE. It's only stationed a few hundred yards across the river from the yard. Yesterday it did a short trip up the river from it's moorings up near to the RM base at Istow and this morning has gone out into the bay and looks to be heading straight for Clovelly. Testing out all the work it's had done at Appledore? Sometimes they beach them on Sauton Sands to offload vehicles for exercises. Hopefully the Afon Alaw has come to take the Atherstone away. :)
