Jabido In relation to your 20.37 post of yesterday embarassingly I forgot about it as I was trying to find out if Line of Duty will be shown tomorrow as planned or if it will be postponed. I have found this clip on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD9tDWDy6xQ. The last few minutes are interesting.

Just seen this https://twitter.com/GMBWSW/status/1380544759350050829

I have just looked at the 1 week chart. I am not sure if anyone knows if this has happened before but for the last week the price has been flat at 40p. I wonder if the price is being held at this price for a reason.

ban4118 In relation to your 17.08 while news tomorrow is possible we had guys into the close yesterday but no news today.

Tango1 In relation to your 11.13 post the interims results are due by the end of this month. So I would expect them to be published on 30 April as INFA does seem to like to publish on the last possible date

I see from this article that in three days time H&W will celebrate 160 years since founding can we expect a birthday present from HMG? https://www.handyshippingguide.com/shipping-news/historic-ship-builder-celebrates-milestone-anniversary-as-it-branches-out_13619

If I recall correctly one of the reasons for the Dec/Jan fundraise was to purchase equipment to help with winning fabrication contracts. Nothing has been heard about fabrication contracts since. Does anyone know if fabrication contracts of any size have been won.

Iam not sure if this has been seen before https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5o8usjrIcgk

Crown Estate Scotland in its Scotwind auction of sites for wind farms will be imposing a 25% local content requirement. I am not sure of the local content requirement the Crown Estate is requiring in relation to the sites in England and Wales. However, in relation to the Scotwind auctions it is highly likely that to reach the local content requirement some if not most of the fabrication of jackets will have to be done locally. INFA has the largest fabrication footprint in the UK so is in the strongest position to meet this demand. I note from figures on the BritFab website the cost of fabricating a single jacket is around £2m.

Tango1 In relation to your 10.38 post I am not sure how many staff were retained. However I note from the recent trading statement that Methil is back operational so it seems that at least some staff are there. Also any concern may be mitigated by requiring a performance bond.

Tango1 In relation to your 09.21 I agree with but would observe that if you look at the BritFab website they give examples of the work and it shows that they have extensive experience in fabricating jackets. So INFA has the footprint and through the BritFab purchase the experience needed to fabricate the jackets

Lottie123 In relation to your 07.25 post I note that there is a local content requirement and with a wind farm of this size the contract for the fabrication of the wind jackets is likely to be significant. Both Methil and Arnish have experience of fabricating jackets and are local. With all the off shore wind farms being built around the UK and the local content requirements from both the UK Government and Crown Estate Scotland INFA is likely to be in a good position to capture a fair share of this work.

I note that for practically all of Q1 the Building Dock and SRQ have not been used. I wonder when these two will starting being used on a regular basis. Having said that revenues are still reasonable in the circumstances.

Just seen this through the UK Defence Journal Twitter Feed https://bidstats.uk/tenders/2021/W13/748093441. The value is within the assets of INFA so there should not be any issue from that point of view.

Hopefully this is on INFA's radar as it would be very lucrative to get the jackets contract for this one even doing half of the necessary jackets would be worth it.

TheEast In relation to your 10.04 post I think that if there was a Judicial Review permission might be granted but the application would not be granted. You have to remember that, assuming the process is the same in both England and Northern Ireland, Judicial Review is a two stage process. The first stage is the permission stage where all that is needed to prove is that the case is arguable. The second stage is the harder one where you have to prove your case. It also has to be remembered that the Minister would be the defendant INFA would only be an interested party.

Stifler In relation to your 15.58 post even if a judicial review does not succeed it can delay the matter for years with appeals so it is a very expensive but good stalling tactic as the Court would probably grant an injunction preventing the decision being implemented.

Stifler In relation to your 14.42 post based on a twitter exchange if the ML is granted there will be a Judicial Review one of the arguments is likely to be that there should have been a public enquiry due to the controversy around the proposal.

Just seen this https://www.niferry.co.uk/pos-norbank-covering-north-channel-dry-dockings/. Looks like the European Causeway will be in Belfast Dry Dock from 11 May. I note the Norbank will not be doing its Dry Dock at Belfast. I wonder what would be in dry dock between 23 April and 11 May.

Just to add to the fun there is this twitter feed https://twitter.com/Leesadee_Imagee/status/1377914043780972545
