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. :)
The page won't load up for me withhout blurring out but Cenovus said that the Searose may be "off platform" until September at least. Go a bit over and you're into Q4.
It's back down off Drogheda again. Thought it might be up for another cheaper fuel run across the border. Is it coming back into dock to finish off or did the carpet fitter get it all done? :)
I noticed that the Terramare spent Sunday heading up the Bristol Channel to Newport. That concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there's nothing they can't do, now the're in Newport, Newport, Newpooort! :)
Investors invest in companies that they can see themselves getting a return on. If a company has potential to fulfill that requirement then people will invest their money in it. If not they will go elsewhere. Afterall, it's an investment, not a marriage. Till death do us de-list. :) So what actually happends when there are too few to make it viable. Forceably eject them all and close it down or move them onto another exchange? Are there plans laid down for that eventuality?
Better turn around soonish then as by that time it could be going through the straights of Gibraltor. :) If it maintains it's current speed and direction.
Explains why all news is now delivered by social media, as RNS's cost too much. :) But can you blame the SP performance on the expences of being on AIM?
According to the guy that runs the Scilly FB page, who does seem to know about this kind of thing, " She could do the trip on a single tank of fuel @12 knots in 8 days - but that is dependant on weather and crew... they are probably going non-stop to destination as long as they have enough food… they will only be burning 200 litres an hour @ 12 knots and she holds 14m3 of fuel…. So would expect to see her in a south coast port before end of month if all goes to plan"
Yes. Going by the pictures posted on FB she moored up opposite "The Boat Shed" in Penzance. Not sure why all the secrecy at keeping the transponder off and then they go and post pics? Bit of cat and mouse going on with the Steamship Co. I guess. Previously called the Jenna and before that the Arromanches. Lots of pics of her as she was previously on the vessels tracking sites. Even some of her on a Normandy beach.
Just watched the past track since it left port. Sped up, stopped a few times, did some manouvers and accelerated off again. If it starts doing doughnuts then it's porbably been knicked by joyriders. :) If the secrecy they employed to get the Samson from port to port is used then they might not be providing a destination just yet. At least they have the transponder on so it can be tracked as it progresses along its journey. Seems a bit far out from port to be just sea trials.
Stokey, Vilanova is where it has been all the time since it was first mentioned as the new ferry on the Scrutiny Committee meeting. Seems it left the port around 10:00 this morning.
