We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
I posted a pic of one of them last week as a joke, as you can see the yard in the picture behind them. There is a lay-by on the road just there and it's where I normally go through onto the cycle path to get a decent view of the yard for a good nosey. If they have the big doors open you can see right in with some nocliers. Not that would, Mr MOD. ;)

Had to use just the last part of your link, otherwise Linkedin takes me to the sign up page.
Would the new ferry be going to Appledore? I thought that they had another freight vessel in that they were fixing up. Something to go along with the Terramare and Valonia.
From yesterday in Newlyn. Maybe Appledore too busy to fit here in, in house, but then Newlyn is just down the coast from the home port of Penzance.
"H&W Terramare, late last night she was hauled up the slipway for her annual maintenance programme, this year will see her change the livery from KMS to H&W, also some other small jobs."
It's always been said that the new (to H&W) ferry would go to Belfest for a it's refurb/ paint job.
BTW, ONLYMEE, which yard?
No difficulty on my part, BT. And as I said, I've just read that and posted the last part of that sentence, "in 2026".
Makes no mention of, "The Season", so as far as I could see you are just assuming. Be that a fair assumption or not, or just to prove a point over another poster, I wouldn't like to guess or assume.
Leave you to it. ;)
Thanks for that, LSE.
Yeah, I did hear something about one being "fixed up"at Appledore a while back. Been trying to get get a bit more info but still away so not up on local gossip/news.
In all honesty, this is not the SSG's message board and as we are no longer in the picture for the build then they are of no more importance than BAE or Bab.ocks. They are now just the competition. Saying that, I've just read their latest newsletter in which it just states, "in 2026"
Further on, it says, "We have been working closely with Piriou developing and finalising the vessel designs ready for building to commence in June."
Some interesting details about the hull designs with a "HUll Vane".

More interested in what H&W and Scilly Ferries are doing, tbh. :)
Just need to say that was just the view of the admin bloke from that facebook page and maybe a bit cynical about the whole thing. So, not to be relied as fact, regarding the vessel mentioned and maybe not the whole story. Didn't listen to the radio broadcast, fwiw . So if anyone did, and can correct what he posted, it would be interesting to hear the jist of what JW said.
From the FB page. Hope the guy don't mind me copyiong it over here. :)
"Well that was interesting…… basically we’re none the wiser and nothing was admitted 🤣
When you remove all the white noise…….
1. Plans change
2. A vessel will be there on 1st May
3. Probably starting with smaller vessels
4. Freight will be the focus……
5. Inter island vessel sounds like it’s on the cards
6. Reading between the lines - the whole focus was on fast ferry and catamarans with hand luggage only -
‘Hold luggage would follow on the freight vessel ‘
If they are going down the DAMEN 4212 as a type or option route then they will need all the help they can get as they will only be able to run 65% of the summer season due weather limits which for this vessel would be 2 mtr sig wave height - definitely not 3 as was declared
Cancelling early for people that have booked accommodation etc will just automatically push people to ISSG - so not sure of the thinking there..
Bottom line is plans still tweaking - vessel not fixed yet - but if I was a betting man a small passenger vessel will probably be there in May but as to what it is how fast it goes and how many it carries is anyone’s guess - but it still doesn’t address the effort and cost of broadcasting to the South West and UK/EU markets that will need to be tapped to make it financially viable "
"This Saturday morning, we'll be talking live with the CEO of Harland & Wolff, John Wood. The launching of a new passenger ferry service connecting Scilly with the mainland was big news around 6 months ago. How are plans progressing? Has the Government's decision to remove the £48m levelling up fund money changed their plans in any way? And when can we expect the first sailing of the 'Atlantic Wolff'?"
Didn't you post this article two weeks ago? Thought it was something new.
What's wrong LSE, have you finished the internet? :)
It'll be a bad day if it is just repeats from now on. 😱
Ps. Hope we don't get one of those after hours on a Friday RNS's, Chris.
PPs. I'm showing a small winkie. ;)
Unless there have been some major advancements in solution mining that I'm not aware of, it was always stated that the process of making a cavern would take about two years. Plus a bit more to then commission them.
We'll see, H9. I'm just running things by the numbers. No expectations. Relying more on TA than hearsay and hope. Those days have long gone.
"Some interesting discussion on ADVFN regarding the finance." Isn't there always. lol Not looked in for a while as it all went a bit samey. Seemed to me that If they spent as much time and effort on a share they actually liked, they might do quite well for themselves. Maybe they do elsewhere and it's just a hobbie finding new and interesting ways not to invest in a company and then sharing it with the world on that company's chat board. :)
I don't know, but I still feel that the market may still have a lingering and inherent caution of anything coming from the company due to some real dick moves done previously. Maybe less so with new investors since FSS, but I think it's still there to a degree. During that slow decline to 5p, there were contract after contract announced, totalling many multiples of the Mcap. But it still drifted down. Maybe it will be different next time, going forward, as they say. lol
Not sure about the ‘Road to 500", if that's what it's being called. I remember only hearing about the "five year plan" after about two or so years in to it. :)
"...the low, 9.30 is now in and the test of 8.5 is complete..."
Last time it double dipped so was holding back incase it does it again.
BWTFDIK......
That's the thing with lines, they just keep going off into the distance, into infinity.... or zero. :)
That line has previous history though. If you care to zoom out from the small section shown. It was the height of the FSS spike in November '22 and again, breifly, in the following January. But before that, it was where the sp peaked out in 2021 before the long decline to the 5p area in '22 just before the FSS news broke that particular trend. (purple line)
I'm hoping that this latest downwards trend will be kicked to the kirb waaay before then. If no finance news by Dec 2024 we have bigger problems. :) Similar to how the previous one was broken,but maybe a bit longer lasting this time as the company moves towards profitability. Had hoped that the lower blue trend could have been maintained, with it's increasingly higher lows , but wasn't meant to be. That's the thing with trends. By their very nature they have to change. Otherwise we would all still be wearing flares and tank tops. :)
Longer view, as ever, fwiw

NB, not a recommendation to trade based on this information or a suggestion to how it may come to pass. It's just how things have been, so far. Things can look bigger in the rear view mirror and be careful with That Axe, Eugene.
;) small winkie
Forgot the little winkie emojie at the end.
Not overly concerned about contracts, tbh. Once the excitement and spike of the initial news wears off, things usually go back to how they were before. I'm guessing once there is actually room to put something, dock wise, we might get a sniff of something.
