The ship that imported the TBM was the Eems Carrier, you can see it in the rushes that Myo posted about 6 mos ago:

the Eems Carrier is a small vessel (abt 2,300 DWT) with one large hold/hatch that can be utilized for various bulk cargoes, and when she shipped the TBM she was only carrying the TBM in the open hold with no other cargoes, and it looks like she discharged the TBM alongside at Redcar (no containers on board and not discharging at a container terminal). in my view it is logical that this is how they will ship any other machinery of a similar scale - if the SBR is far bigger than the TBM they would shift to a specialist heavy lift vessel that is purpose built for shifting heavy machinery at a higher freight - but not on a container vessel.
If you want to double check, suggest just call the agents and ask them what the ship is discharging - they are friendly blokes and will probably tell you.
thanks - that puts my mind at ease.
has anyone had any experience of shifting money between shares and holding cash within an ISA wrapper? i have lumped my last 2 yearly ISA limits on SXX and may try for 1 more next year if SP stays reasonable. My plan is to hold long term until full production is reached and divs start paying, but after which, assuming the pot has increased significantly and SP has stabilized into a nice conservative dividend paying share with much of the upside built in, I will look to diversify the pot into a block of 12-15 decent dividend paying safe bet FTSE 100 stocks and leave it be. but is there any issue with switching stocks within an Isa wrapper? does it all have to be re-invested within a time frame? for example if you want to sell a chunk of shares and wait before re investing can the cash be held in the isa wrapper indefinitely or will the bank return it out of the wrapper after a certain period if it is not re-invested into shares? also is there a limit to how many re-investments can be done within the ISA wrapper ? i hold my portfolio on the HSBC share dealing online platform within their standard ISA for guidance. thanks.
Here is a question. What would you do if you were the proud CEO of poly4 mine who has been through the precarious process of financing a start up mining operation before, and you wanted to make sure you got financing secured, but at the same time do as much as possible to stave off future potential takeover bids by your rivals prior to your funding being confirmed so that you limit the chance of being taken out cheaply before the project is completed ?
The fact there has been a price fixing cartel in ferts for many years is not in question in my view (below is an old link but gives an idea of how the market is controlled) https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.ft.com/content/6b87c14c-2b80-11e3-bfe2-00144feab7de<br /><br />Whilst the cartel has changed and opened up over the years, The big boys will always control supply and pricing... others have mentioned the Jansen project on this forum before. That is an example of a fully ready reserve of ferts that the controlling entry has mothballed and will be switched on to production mode relatively swiftly as soon as future market pricing hits a level they a happy to start selling at. <br /><br />But I’m not too worried about others in the market, while Sirius is currently a small fish relative to some of these big players, it is an interesting product and not in direct competition, and given its organic cridentials should find its place in the market as demonstrated by the TORP sales progress.<br /><br />My only slight concern is the generally conservative nature of the global farming industry, as farmers can be slow to change their systems in spite of strong aggronamy test results. But fundamentally with continued global population growth and a natural shift to organic farming I think Sirius is very well placed As a product.<br />
these are the holding co's for the other various dormant potash projects within the Company :
"
Consistent with its stated strategy, the Company’s other projects will continue to be moved forward in parallel, but on a balanced risk reward basis.
