Shhh, you will spook it. It's trying to creep back up.

I guess the history and local connection, K.

That LU funding was for all three vessels and the infrastructure work, btw.

"RMV Scillonian III was purpose built for the Steamship Company by Appledore Shipbuilders Ltd of Appledore in Devon and was christened by H.R.H. Prince Charles, Duke of Cornwall on 17 May 1977 and entered service later in the same month."

Maybe we can get the King down for a repeat performance. :)
(if harl get it)
Don't know why but the chances of getting that contract excites me more than the FSS, tbh.

This chap...

Note his last liked post. lol

Oh, well spotted Jabido. Indeed, fingers have been crossed for that one for a while.
On one of the Linked-in posts recently, if you went off piste from the main link there was a like of a post of a visit of the CEO of Scilly Steamship Group to Appledore.

Thanks for the feedback, appreciate your time and effort in attending and posting.

Surprised not to hear from some of the empty vessels. ;)
Actually, I'm not in the slightest as I think a lot of that "army" are away on maneuvers at the mo.

Nod to https://twitter.com/AJBC_1 for the pics.
He also has some of the recent Tower Lifeboat Station for which Appledore made the pontoon that it's built on.

Just noticed this was posted on Twitter earlier.

I see the Venture has arrived at Gravesend.

"Cory Ship Repair Services operates two slipways at Denton Wharf in Gravesend..."

The Higlander is in the BDD.

And still no movement on the Pentalina, Excalibur, Dutch Pearl or the Dolphin.

Nothing bad about it per se, Xenor. But I think people were expecting something more ahead of tonight.
Maybe some news on the financing at least. I would imagine that they can't say much tonight that has not already been released to the wider market so not sure what to expect as regards feedback.
Other than a general reading of the mood music given off from the BoD and maybe some personal interpretations of any nods and winks.

Not heard from Stokey for a while, Lottie. Thought it might be a half term thing.
Hope all is okay.

PS. I can think of some that might be obvious by their absence. ;)

Interesting find there Kaeren, although it looks like a re-issue of this original post on the N-K's news page from Feb.

Not sure why Navy Leaders would do so unless something else has prompted then to post this last week. News on any progress or at least an update on the previous one about waiting for parts would indeed be welcome.
As I understand it, there is going to be some "movement" soon. Not sure to what extent, yet. :)

What may be of interest, for those wanting to DYOR, is the main company itself and it's history with Harl in it's previous form, and links with IM.

Guess they felt obliged to put at least something out ahead of tonights presentation.
Hmm?
Going to be an interesting Q&A. Can't wait for the feedback.

Even before clicking on the link I knew exactly who it was from, just from the comments. lol
Think this is the same guy that thought the M55 contract was something to do with motorway maintenace. He gets a lot of stuff muddled up and, imo, needs to do better research on particular stocks he covers rather than bad research on the whole market.
It's no better than click bait, tbh.

Aw, that's a lot of kisses. :)

Will look forward to getting some feedback for those that attend.
TIA

Had no intention myself, too far, but maybe they have canceled it, again.

You could be looking at the Bravewind, Richard.

Tracked it coming in the other day and was looking to see where it was going, due to it's cargo type and history.

Another shuffle this morning. Pentalina left the BDD for what could be a short vist to the BBD before leaving.
Could be today, but they keep changing the times.

My guess was a problem with the first tug. And just needed another tug. ;)

Any more than that and we might have to get TTNY to ask Tuggy.

Cory have a fair bit going on when you look into the company.
As well as the barges they have ordered from H&W they already had a seven year contract with Newcastle-based shipyard A&P Tyne for a further 35.
From January last year.
https://www.corygroup.co.uk/media/news-insights/cory-takes-delivery-new-barge-named-after-founder/

"The delivery of the barge represents the latest stage of Cory’s investment in its river-based infrastructure as the company progresses its £800 million growth plans, which include the construction of the Riverside 2 energy from waste (EfW) facility next to its existing EfW facility in Belvedere, the acquisition of East London-based recycling and waste management company McGrath Group, the development of the UK’s largest heat network in partnership with Vattenfall, and advancing the world’s biggest EfW carbon capture and storage project."

This more recent article from their website shows thats Cory’s hydrogen and CCS projects were designated as Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects.

I remember when IM was given those kind of accolades from the EU.
But definitley a good company to be working with.

... has left the yard.
