Kaeren ref 13.17 post I wonder if this is part of this carbon capture project https://www.corygroup.co.uk/future-growth/carbon-capture-storage-project/. It does not look like it so HARL might have o be building new barges for Cory for sometime.
Just seen this on the Navy Lookout Twitter feed https://twitter.com/NavyLookout/status/1777422954759921749 does this mean it will become CAUKUS?
This update has just been posted on LinkedIn showing progress. Looks like everything is on course. The ext of the post is

hashtag#TeamResolute, a consortium of BMT, Navantia UK and Harland & Wolff, continues its work in the United Kingdom’s hashtag#FSS programme. While BMT advances in the engineering of the ships for the UK’s Royal Fleet Auxiliary that will support the Maritime Carrier Strike Group, Navantia UK and Harland & Wolff are making progress with strategy and preparations for the building of the vessels. As part of these activities, Harland & Wolff representatives have travelled to Navantia, S.A., S.M.E shipyards in Bahía de Cádiz to discuss strategy, actions and progress as well as transfer of knowledge.
The team had the opportunity to start its familiarisation with the state-of-the art, flat panel-line shipbuilding technology that will be installed in Harland & Wolff fabrication hall in Belfast, as part of the £77 million recapitalisation and modernisation works enabled by the FSS programme.
Navantia UK has designed a total of 40 on-the-job training courses in areas such as procurement, production, engineering, quality, test and trials and project management in order to deliver an outstanding FSS capability build a long-lasting shipbuilding legacy in the UK.

LSE03 ref 20.54 post It would seem from this link https://www.trusteddocks.com/catalog/country/161-norway that Norway only has 20 shipyards for newbuilds. In addition the largest vessel tha can be uilt in those yards is 250m. It would seem from a google search that this would mena that they could only build a frigate anything else would need to be built overseas.
Bubble2021 ref 15.57 post but my point was that there is no indication that Methil and Arnish cnno handle the current fabrication contracts that HARL has so there is no need to buy A&P Teesside to meet capacity needs.
I found this link to the story https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/historic-tees-shipyard-close-ap-28936513. I doubt that HARL would be interested as there is no apparent lack of capacity to require an increase in drydock facilities. I currently do not see any need to increase fabrication capacity.
LSE03 ref 10.05 post Reads a lot like he state of the RFA. RFA Victoria, which incidentally built by the predecessor compnay to HARL about forty years ago. is the only FSS left if I recall correctly. The refuelling ships are I believe in not better shape and will probably need replacing.
LSE03 ref 09.25 post so it will take three years to get all the permissions needed to do this development. If you start from the premise that there is a climate emergency then hree years seems a longtime to wait for a development like this.
There seems to be some confusion about the composition of the scrutiny committee. The only qualification as such for the scrutiny committee membership is that you have been nominated by one of the poitical parties and approved at the Annual Council meeting. There might be one or two members who have expert knowledge in the subject area of the committees work bu as far as I am awre there is no requirement for this. Any advice before the meeting would have come from council officials who also may not have subject knowledge. This advice would have been based on the papers submitted and included in the meeting papers.
Apart from the reason given by Scaffman in his 21.14 post the other fundamental problem which came up when this was last discussed on this board is that the owner of the shipyard is not interested in selling it for use as a shipyard. Therefore the only way forward for Pallion as a shipyard is if he local authority was to make a compulsory purchase order. The problem with that is that the Council will own it and I do not think they have the mondey to develop it. So I also think it is a non starter
