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.

Obviously people can post what they want. But, like other often touted "taboo subjects", it's a zero sum game than can never be won, afaic. One would hope on a share discussion board it could it could stick to being loosely based around the company and related sector news. Obvs. going to be some OT stuff and a bit of banter. But when it comes to having to read peoples views of political parites and their various members it's a really, REALLY, big turn off, for me. Persistence will just get them added to the filter list. If they make it that far then it usually means I'm quite happy to miss out on their views when they might have something more relevant to say.

Other people wishing they didn't have to read political BS from ANY side of the house. Not here, at least.

Keep it to yourselves. If you don't mind. TIA

To be fair, I believe most people are usually forced into being LTH's by the circumstances not by a predetermined consious choice. Namely, a longer than anticipated delay in reaching an acceptable return on their investment. If that target profit was reached sooner it would make sense that most would have taken some or even all of it out at that point. Unless greed took over and they thought that there was even more to be made. I don't think anyone goes into a share thinking, right, I'm going to be a LTH here, regardless of what happends. The whole reason is that we are here to make money for ourselves and those around us, not just fund directors salaries. Ideally, both can happen and everyones happy.

GL everyone, regardless.

To expand on the my 12:36. Uncertain myself so selected all dates, Royal Courts of Justice in the top box and Court of Appeal in the lower box.

Came up with a long list with the option to view individual cases on the right.

Think I'll just let Chris inform us when something happends. :)

"factoring in cost of trade", really? lol. Guess that six quid or so is a large percentage and makes a big difference if you are only trading under £100. Lot of effort and BS for little gain, imho.

Stokey, thanks for the info and good to be reminded, but tbh, I don't anything posted by lamehamster is worthy of your time and effort. imho

Copy and paste URL link but delete "searchscreen" before hitting return.

Select "search all dates"

Select and add Venue and Court Tier from righthand box to lefthand box.

Hit search.

Enjoy.

Missed the mention of Navantia, Stokey. Thanks. TBH, was hard to stay completely focused for the whole thing. They do dither about getting to the point. And thanks for that reminder, K. Maybe pass it on to the Prof. who seemed, at times, maybe not up to speed with all the details. :)

fwiw, it was 79 employees and not 40. When they took over.

MAS Islander coming out of dry dock on Saturday and going back on to the SRQ briefly. Good chance to see the new paint job in all it's glory. Expect tweety linkydins galore. According to the harbour website it is then departing the SRQ that afternoon. Another cheap fuel run across the boarder or some required sea trials or all done?

Conflicting reports on The Braemar (Odyssey) taking its place in the dry dock straight away. According to the Belfast Cruise Ship Watch FB some have read, Via the Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines facebook group, that their former ship Braemar will leave Rosyth on 19th April heading for Belfast. Whereas Belfast harbour does not have it due until the 24th of May.

AW still in Spain.

Have jetwashed the kayak. (and anything else that couldn't get out of the way) :)

On the point of support from the MOD he kept mentioning what sounded like "DMS". Didn't catch what was meant by that. During repeated mentions of required support what he failed to mention was any support, technical or otherwise, from other partners of Team Resolute, namely Navantia. They would certainly be more experienced and up to speed with modern practices than maybe some of the current Harland and Wolff set-up. Experienced Greybeards and newly drafted in appointees aside. What did stick out was the comment that if the y get it wrong then they won't get another chance from the MOD. Basically, they only get one shot, so do not miss the chance to show, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo! :)

Have been caught out being polite myself on a previous occasion so tend to be very watchful and maybe a bit over wary.

Obviously have to be careful not to call it and get it wrong. But so far, I've been pretty spot on so thought a nod in the general direction might trigger some caution.

The Imho's are out in force this evening ,bless em. All that account swapping must get confusing, imho. :)

Sounds like they are trying to justify a trade. Can't be very sure of themselves. imho

Re, thread. Fwiw my Pringle is justs fine LSE. Thanks for asking. Tbh, I thought I detected a whiff of something earlier. Kind of a wet dog smell. Might be nothing, but worth noting, I thought. Sorry if too cryptic Crouchers? ;)

BT, about as much a West Country lad as youself. Only by fact of residency.

Onlymee, I've been told before, NO CAPES!

LOL. The company making it is the company with one of their yards just across the water from the Arnish yard, on Goat Island. Have looked at them before. Got to love how this is playing out. Scilly is going to have more vessels than people soon. :)

SiDer sense is tingling. You know the sought (sic) of feeling you get sometimes. ;)

Going by the delayed 250k sell, it looks like they heard you Nobby, and upped their game 10 mins later.

Careful what you ask for. :)

"The administration will also investigate China's shipbuilding industry"

To learn how they could maybe do a bit better themselves?

It's moved along the dock. So it's got a little bit closer. :)
