According to the Venture's destination details it's due in London on Monday.
Something for JW and his show and tell?

Fwiw, the CBB1 was due out at 18:30 tonight, but that has been changed (again) to 19:30.
With the Tug Venture to tow it.
Begining to think it will never leave.

Nothing to do with Harl, Steamy.
But it is the same type of vessel as the Excalibur that Harl has been working on.

I recall we discussed, at length, the chances of them doing a surprise RNS when waiting for details of the Polb demerger.
For a similar reason to what you suggested in your 12:21 post earlier, Trout. Didn't happen though, unfortunately.
They telegraphed it way in advance and it was carnage, if I remember correctly.

Will have a look later, K. Out in the workshop atm.
Just checking in to see if anything should require any attention before close of play.
OTTOMH, not a lot. As regards insti's and funds.
Think I had about 50% down as sig ho's. But they were pretty much all nominee accounts of one kind or another. Will have to check the spreadsheet later.

Maybe leant the wrong dickshunary. Should sought that out. ;)

Yeah could be an issue, regarding the weather.
Wondering if there could be an issue with the Dolphin. Having changed the departure date several time already we now have it scheduled to leave on Friday at 4pm. Whereas the Venture and the CBB1 are due out at noon tomorrow. Same as the Pentalina. The Dutch Pearl are the Excalibur are aslo due out Friday. But, as they came together I've always assumed they would leave together. Can't see anything due in so far for this week, fwiw.
Here ends the shipping forcast. :)
Oops started this an hour ago got side tracked researching, stuff.
Ooh, I can turn her tina. ;)

Indeed. K, the three tugs on the SRQ.
Dutch Pearl ready for Excalibur.
Dolphin ready for CBB1
Venture ready for CBB2, maybe. Looking at her position on the SRQ.

Further to your Twitter post from George Allison this was in the UKDJ reagrding,"collaboration and technology sharing" with Poland.

Btw Xenor, fwiw, I've stopped using the Sauna recently due to the electricty costs.
Plans to change the stove over to a log burning one. 'Cause my, do I have wood. ;)

... a big çock up and some Poles.
About , sums up a long Bank Holiday weekend. :)

Scrub that idea. Just checked as to the whereabouts of the Dutch Pearl, as that is usually used for towing the Excalibur.
She's due in to the SRQ on the 9th. So we still have a spare tug. I did "float" the idea of a second barge last week so we will see.

I was wondering if the extra tug was for the Excalibur as I saw that it was coming up from Avonmouth.

No worries. It's just my interpretation having looked into it a fair bit.
They sometimes seem to come when there is a change in the ask/bid. They can often look like outliers, as if trying to force the direction of play, say by paying full ask with a few small trades, so as to get a better price for a following large sell. And going the other way with large buys. It's worth watching them to see how they effected things that followed on.
You also get firms that use direct market access (DMA) to place trades on the book themselves, rather than using MM's or brokers. So yeah, lots of stuff going on behind the scenes.
I'ld give it a miss, tbh.
You don't need to know how an engine works to drive a car.
Though it can help when you break down.

Okay, It's a bit of an ask to explain the small trades in a simple post Stokey, but I've had a go.
Firstly, they are not Pi's with fat fingers getting dummy trades wrong.
Athough, saying that, I'm sure sometimes we have all been there at some time with a mistaken press of the button in a panic to get a price.

No, the small trades are SI trades. And nothing to do with me, honest. :)

I’ve investigated them a few times over the last couple of years to get a better understanding of how the market works.
So, a brief explanation from what I’ve gathered would be….
SI’s (Systematic Internaliser) are a type of financial firm that execute client orders on a trading venue such as the TradeEcho order book on the London Stock Exchange. They go on throughout the day as they must provide prices to clients who request them, and then execute trades at those prices, but without taking any market risk themselves.
I guess that would explain the small amounts.
If you look at them on the London exchange trades page, they are identified as SINT trades.
SI trades can be executed through a trading venue or directly between the SI and its clients.
Clients of SIs can access the TradeEcho order book to view prices and execute trades. They can enter orders to buy or sell at specific prices or at the prevailing market price. Trades are executed automatically when the bid and ask prices match, or when a client's order is filled by an SI at the price they requested.
Overall, the goal of the SI regime is to increase transparency and competition in financial markets by ensuring that SI’s provide quotes and execute trades in a fair and efficient manner. Similarly, the TradeEcho order book provides a transparent and efficient platform for executing SI trades and accessing liquidity from multiple sources.

There is a lot more to it when you get into all the other Market Identifier Codes (Mic's)
There are on-exchange and off-exchange trades, OTC and ECEU trades....

Hope that helps a little.
Please DYOR, there are hours of fun waiting for you.
GL.

That, or it’s the MM’s balancing their books.
(commission free, obviously.) ;)

Just for clarity, it wasn't aimed at Stokey.
" Hoist with his own petard ", as Bill the Bard would have it. :)

Now I know what it means it certainly fits with who it was originally aimed at.
Oh, the irony. lol

Hardly worth the bother, tbh.
:)

I find this quite useful.fwiw
https://percentcalc.com/

"As a result of an increase in the Company's share capital Mr Friel's percentage holding has now fallen from 7.02% to 6.94% of the total issued share capital. However, Mr Friel's total shareholding remains unchanged at 47,087,086 Ordinary Shares."
UNCHANGED

Sorry, but sometimes I think you read too much into stuff, Stokey.
" details of the latest position it is not up to date"
Yeah, marine traffic has it up past Sharpness.
But it's not, they tweeted a picture of it in Appledore.
" ... they do not want people to know where it is coming from."
Why would they do that?
" due to its age over 40 years old it is likely to be an extensive refit."
They may have kept it good order and it just need it's bottom scraped and a lick of paint.
"Looks like it may be in for some time."
How can you tell?

Bit of background. Built in Bideford, so quite the local gal.

"... will work as a Survey Vessel.", ooh, is JW's brother getting a new boat to add to the fleet? ;)

It's not a massive vessel, if we are being honest. It's just a small working boat so it's not going to spike the sp with this one.
Just a bit of bread and butter work to keep the guys busy. Or something for the apprentices to play with.
Notice that with the " 2023 apprenticeship programme" post they have used the old photo of the first apprentices they had there a year or so ago.

Did heard that they could be letting something out in about four or five weeks. Though, from what I gather it's sort of going but not leaving H&W.
