So wether they decided to go for construction themselves, or with other partners, or sell it on to the highest beidder it will be worth more. Bit like selling a car with or without a valid MOT. :)

"A rolled-up hearing has the advantage of getting the matter dealt with quickly and in practice is cheaper than the more drawn-out, two stage procedure."

Reads to me as if they have decided to go for the build (JV unknown) and are after the final consents.

Posted by LSE a few days ago but none given at the time of posting. None seen since the rudder issue so could be related to that. Availability of replacement parts would be my guess. Guests are now living in all the portacabins used for the islander. 😂

It was changed to the 28th.

86 minutes till 20:30, time to get the tea on....

Was thinking more like something they are actually doing in that sector rather than something they hope to do if they get the funding from someone. Yes, having the sites and "plans to transform its Arnish and Methil facilities into leading hubs for renewable infrastructure" is great. Same as creating a "world-class Centre of Excellence" for cruiseships in Belfast. They make excellent press releases and useful soundbites to chuck into an interview. Just be nice to see an actual contract in that area once in a while. No worries, I guess reading through old RNS's makes you think about similar things. So excuse my somewhat flipant remark. Was meant more tongue in cheak, tbh.

... staying a while? No, staying for a few days. Seatruck Performance due in to the SRQ on Friday for reasons unknown.

Latest? Be interesting to learn about ANY projects in the offshore wind and renewable energy sector, tbh Stokey. Been nothing of note since the termination of the Saipem project.

Just found the LinkedIn post but was that an actuall question about the boats, LSE?

Thought you would have know what they are, tbh. :) But, for any that don't. The one on the right is the HMS Atherstone, bought as a donor vessel for spares for the HMS Quorn on the left. In previous pictures posted yesterday you could see that the Atherstone had been stripped out a fair amount. Still no word on what going to happen to it afterwards though. I assume the scaffolding is up around the Quorn for final instalation/painting as "sources" tell me it won't be long before it's finnished. Others including BAE are doing some of the more technical instalation work.

"According to DESA the restoration work included upgrading the mission and sonar systems, search and rescue capability along with adding new main engines, generators and propulsion gear.

Additionally, the contract involves refurbishing the accommodation, hull, ancillary systems, electrical systems and painting."

Still no explantion of the 2,649,327 shares that went missing between the last two Killik TR-1's though. Same thing happened with Allianz Global and Lombard. Disappeared of the register with no TR-1. Hey ho, just a changing of ownership.

Sorry, BT, afk doing bee stuff. :) About £15m off the top of my head. Fair bit of grant money.

X, why do you always get so defensive when the matter or TA or charts gets mentioned? It's just an opinion. No different to almost anyone elses opion. Take it leave it. But no, why would I sell at 13p. It's a marker that if passed would indicate chances of bigger things to come. Chill out.

Was going to say, I've got a chart that would explain it better Xenor. ;)

Besides a few exceptions 13p has shown time and again to be a significant resistance point since the start of the year. Don't know why but it just seems to be a tipping point. We will see. Just imo

10% a day should cover it, Wyn. :)

A good FOMO Friday or early doors Monday might get it back into that 12.50 to 13.50 range where it was in May.

Probably and hopefully. And yes, same as it ever was..... once one thing is put to bed the focus will move to the next big thing to either blame, agonise over or to anticipate. And then the next.....

But no, not everyone, fwiw. T'is what t'is. :)

The 100k trader has made them turn the ask up to 11. :)

Lets see how many they can entice in at higher levels before selling them back? Good game.

In the original Belfast Telegraph article it said, "Workers at the historic Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast have voted in favour of industrial action." This is now only being quoted as just "strike action". Bit of a difference, imo. Industrial action could be just working to rule and not doing overtime. Afaiaa, legislation states that industrial action ballots must attract at least a 50% turnout. And of that turnout, the majority must vote yes. So if with 1000 staff only 500 need to vote and of that 500 a majority would be 251 votes. Have I got that right? :)

Fwiw, just googled "Harland & Wolff in pay talks with unions" and it took me straight to the article and no paywall.

Not seen any news filtering out on how the meeting with the unions went yesterday?

There is that archive site that Mary used to post articles from behind paywalls. Not at pc so can’t find atm

TBH, LSE, I don't see the local yard getting much in the way of work from this project other than the use of the quay to bring components ashore. As mentioned a while back. Certainly won't be building the cable layer, imo.
