This article shows that contary to what Professor Taylor suggested before the Northern Ireland Select Committee HARL does build ships that last. https://www.military.africa/2024/05/british-military-sealift-vessel-anvil-points-refueling-stop-in-south-africa/ I note that Anvil Point was the last major vessel built by HARL and 22 years later it is still in service. I wonder if HARL will get the contract for the next refit.

Si_Derman ref 10.30 post thanks for that it is Sunday so my brain is resting.

Levsinvest ref 09.16 post do you know what is supposed to be where the asterisks are. You may need to put some spaces in.

Broomtree ref 21.53 post I see yet again you are posting information without providing any link to the source of your information. I have checked the scilly ferries website and can see nothing about this on it.

'Founder & Managing Director, Tim Davey, and GM North America & Head of Global Sales, chris podolsky, pay a visit this week to Harland & Wolff shipyard in the Port of Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Harland & Wolff stands as the originating site of the renowned Titanic, and it's their historical expertise, fused with cutting-edge technology, that has profoundly influenced the evolution of the maritime sector as we know it today.

This 81 acre shipyard was developed to be able to take some of the world’s largest vessels, and is well-served by two local international airports and seaports. The three ships seen here are: SeaRose FPSO, Margaritaville, and Ville Vie. Thank you Lucy Todd for the full shipyard tour!

Currently on Tuesday there will be a general debate on defence. This was due to have taken place about a month or so ago but emergency legislation needed to be rushed through so it was dropped. If I was too guess the following is likely to be raised.

Defence Spending in Northern Ireland

Service accomodation

AJAX

Defence procurement.

Due to a prior engagement I would not be able to watch the debate so can somebody let me know how many of these topics do get mentioned.

This update from UK Defence Journal shows progress on the Type 26 programme. Looks like a tight race as to whether FSS or the Type 26 will be finshed first. https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/a-breakdown-of-the-progress-of-each-type-26-frigate/

Just read this on CityAM https://www.cityam.com/coutts-under-pressure-for-pulling-2bn-out-of-london-stock-market/?utm_source=CityAM&utm_campaign=d406c32868-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2024_05_03_05_45&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-d406c32868-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D It is possible that we will see some turbulence in the markets today. Not quite sure how it will affect HARL but I do not see it helping in getting a correction in the undervalue of HARL.

I have just noticed that the shre price has not moved for the last week. Does anyone know has this happened before?

Twib ref 11.48 post It would be interesting to know the basis of the valuation. I also note that the article is from August last year so has the value gone up.

This from Cruise and Ferry Odyssey will depart on its cruise from Belfast and not Southamton https://www.cruiseandferry.net/articles/refurbishment-begins-on-villa-vie-odyssey-in-belfast

LSE03 ref 21.27 post I note from the article that Norway are also looking for other types of vessels in an ideal world HARL would get the opportunity to build some of these as BAe cannot logistically build all of these.

Hidden in the questions and answers was perhaps some good news for HARL. The Minister answering on I believe it was two ocassions said that the additional money for defence will be spent over all of the United Kingdom which would include Northern Ireland. While some of the spend would probably go to Thales and Spirit Aerosystems some would probably go to HARL.

ButonedUpTheBack ref 16.37 post they were backbenchers not Ministers as Ministers are not allowed to ask questions of fellow Ministers.

The questions and answers can be found on this link https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2024-05-01/debates/0D800C5A-CCED-4362-A7BA-BCD9F4511317/DefenceSpending

This Sunday (May 5th) our team of local Harland & Wolff colleagues will be hitting the streets to take part in the 2024 Belfast City Marathon Relay.

The team will be running in aid of the Air Ambulance NI charity, which attends some of the most traumatic medical incidents across the province, delivering the very best possible pre-hospital critical care.

Just seen this from UK Defence Journal https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/uk-announces-35m-tender-for-submarine-countermeasures/

ButtonedUpTheBack ref 07.52 post They as in the two MPs who both asked the same question.

Scaffman ref 06.28 post The problem I have with your suggestion is that the Direct Lending Facility isfor HARL's clients not HARL as is clear by the reference to overseas buyers. The only thing that makes sense is if somehow the guarantee is to cover a contract or contracts falling within the defintion of environmental information under reg 2(1)(b) of the Environmental Information Regulations which covers '(b) factors, such as substances, energy, noise, radiation or waste, including radioactive waste, emissions, discharges and other releases into the environment, affecting or likely to affect the elements of the environment referred to in (a);' Although I cannot see how that could be the case. We will have to wait and see the response to my request for an internal review goes.
