Who, me? Yes, I think I am. This is the Harley-Davidson board isn't it?

London Stock Exchange's 672,001 also matches with what advfn is currently showing. Also, for a change there is nothing showing on the Aquis exchange so far today. As i'm sure that can sometimes be the cause a descrepancy for what is shown here. Not sure about any timing differences as they are all showing the same last trade of 2851 @ 11.73p at 14:57.

I know none of them are mine. fwiw. So not all that bovvered. :)

Love playing catch the bins. Almost as much fun as find the trampoline.

Yeah, lost a load myself in that last one, BT.

Still working away up in Somerset. All calm here, atm.

Stat safe. :)

Oopsie.

I think we've got a spare hull somewhere in that big shed at Appledore. :)

If not, I've got loads of grey gel coat and a nearly full roll of fibreglass mat. I could nip over and do a quick patch job.

Well, it may be the case of H&W just being an "also ran" as part of a MoU. Or a useful facilitator to a contract by way of the yards/ local content. Until such time that they are big enough and have the clout to get these big contracts unilaterally. Belfast certainly moved some large renewables related contracts through the yard under previous ownership. I think when Olsen had it, that's all they did. But, at the expense of shipbuilding. Hopefully that is now being reversed. :)

Right, Wincanton calls. And not the logistics firm, the actual town. Screwfix awaits. :)

Maybe they will more of the barge production up that way as the main yards require more space for FSS work. But yes, something sizeable in the renewables side, akin to the Sapiem contract, would be ideal.

Re, Mous, LoIs, Framework Agreements etc. They are great bit of publicity, at the time, for all those mentioned in them. Much backslapping and bigging up ensues. Not sure of the actual conversion rate into actual meaningful revenue though. They can certainly take an age to bear any fruit when they have come to something. Some would say that they are just divisive and that has, without doubt, been seen to be the case in some instances. More often than not they just seem to be mentioned until they are not. Whether that is beacause they have outlived their usefulness or circumstances have fundementally changed. Like the FRSU project that, as far as they were concerned, was no longer financially viable or worth persuing. So they just walked away. As it turned out, with what happened with the price of gas in the years following that decision, maybe a bad call. In hindsight.

And no, afaiaa, they didn't buy or retain any dockside property off the back of it. ;)

NB. Not the latest version of the Ford classic.

"chasing wind contracts "

Our Navantia-Windar partnership seem to doing okay on that front, BT. Think they forgot about the MoU.

Thought I had better put in its own thread for fear of Stokey's wrath. :)

Just above the big blue band that says "post new message".

Share chat in red and next to it the dropdown filters tab. Just cut and paste offening person into there.

... for Aremetti? Sha-la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la.

That's the high speed craft that is soon to be renamed the Atlantic Wolff.

But, there seems to be some confusion on just how the new (to us) fast cat is going to get to Belfast for its respray. Obviously has to be in good time to be ready for its inugral sailing to the Scilly Isles. Conflicting reports say that she's either still in Tahiti, waiting for crew, or is being transported (not sailed) to Belfast via the Panama canal. The latter being in response to the current Red Sea issues.

Direct sailing, under her own power, is quoted has taking around 60 days. Doable, but it would certainly take its toll on her already twenty year old engines. After that journey, it might need a good seeing to by an oily rag. ;)

Here is a Linkedin post from a crew manning agency that is actively recruiting. The picture of the vessel shown seems to be correct as are the start and end ports.

The other idea being floated, :), is that it could be piggybacking on a heavy lift vessel transporter, the Yatch Express. This left Tahiti and via Aukland, arrived in Brisbane yesterday. No forward port given as yet on the AIS.

I beleive this is the itinerary page that show its proposed dates and ports.

https://www.yacht-transport.com/schedules/

After Brisbane it appearsto be heading to Ensenada in Mexico. Then Costa Rica, Florida, St. Tomas USVI and ending in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Not sure how easy it to drop something off en route or if they require to be in a port. But, "Just south of Cork would be good, Capt." If not it may have to go full trip and make its own way from Spain to Belfast. Maybe it could stop off in the Scillys to say hi. :)

Here is a site that has a few more details on the vessel and some pics inside.

Anyway, just my interpretaion and sharing of what I've discovered, so far.

And you're welcome, Radnor Capital Partners.

Sha-la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la.

Sha-la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la.

Sha-la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la.... to fade. ..... :)

Also wrong. fwiw.

BANNISH HIM!!!!!

No worries LSE, thought you had filtered me. :)

Fwiw, The Karel Doorman was also built by Damen Shipyards.

Although it looks like it's been a long process in getting any definite contract signed off, as seems to be the case with defence contracts, there is certainly a push from EU representatives for any new build for the ROI to head that way also.

"Ireland has engaged a shipyard in the UK to build ships in the past but, sources have said, in the wake of Brexit that contracts are likely to go to European partner countries."

It was in Cork for a visit back in November 22 .

Great spot there LSE... ... oh.

🤦;)

Nothing to do with H&W, as far as I know. The berth has the tag "CP" on the harbour website. It has it's own jetty for those wanting sightseeing tours.

Try this Stokey.

Saw it earlier. Same place that RN vessel moored up when visiting last year. (forgot name)

Even easier with Photoshop.

Could be quite cheep. Depends where you park it, Stokey.

Following a fiercely contested public vote, we are delighted to confirm the name of the new Scilly Ferries fast ferry. She will be called the Atlantic Wolff. The vessel will have an official naming ceremony later in the year.

Big thanks to Year 7 students from the Five Islands Academy on St Mary’s.

Guess that was what the 1 trade was for earlier. And those deviousness MM's think they can get away with their crafty codes. Thought there might have been some "chunky" buys, though. Once the news was out. ;)

Dude, you are making my eyes hurt. If you keep adding the previous post you will eventually run out of space.

Can I also say that I absolutely love quotation marks. I think that the floatly little commas are just brilliant for showing what are your words and what are someone elses's. Also, it makes it easier if the person you are quoting is filtered. Otherwise, you just look a bit mad. Just sayin'. ;)

Seems that article was a bit behind the times as there was a further ten barge contract on the 6th of November. That made 33 in total. Fwiw, Damen Shipyards was one of the other two companies biddding on the SeaRose refurb contract along with Navantia. It is odd that they are going with diesel tugs when Daman as been ahead of the game on green tug design.
