Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
The Company has selected its Appledore facility to build aluminium vessels and the Company intends on making Appledore as the centre of excellence for aluminium related work. Both parties have identified opportunities in the UK market and will be working jointly on such opportunities as soon as the Teaming Agreement has been executed.
"I am delighted to have signed this MoU with Austal, a global leader in the aluminium vessel market. As we embark on the next phase of the Company's growth and development, we will be partnering with Austal not only for the transfer of technology to build aluminium vessels but to also join hands with them when bidding for contracts. Austal's skills and decades of experience in the aluminium build space are second to none and I look forward to working closely with them to build the next generation shipyard capability for aluminium vessels in the UK."
The Company has identified significant new contract opportunities in the aluminium vessel market and the Directors believe that this MoU will significantly enhance the Company's ability to bid on and win such contracts. A number of tenders, both from government and the private sector, are calling for the build of aluminium vessels that are lightweight and can achieve nautical speeds greater than traditional steel-built vessels. The Directors believe that the Newquay yard in the Company's Appledore facility is an ideal location for this purpose. Accordingly, the Company will be undertaking a study and a build plan to convert the Newquay yard into the Group's centre of excellence for aluminium.
I envisage potential partnerships for episwitch going forward with royalties long into the future, see example of AZ partnership/collaboration announced today. And we could have many such deals.

OBD is a future diamond mine IMO
Great find. Looks like this will be quickly dismissed..................based on speed of date !!!!
Courts are aware of NGO tactics over recent few years and I believe becoming tiresome of nonsense
As a side note, appears someone is building surreptitiously, slowly but surely in the background.....come on JW, spill your guts !!! 😂😉

The New York State pension fund is to invest up to $50m (£41m) in Northern Ireland businesses.
The fund's comptroller Tom DiNapoli made the announcement as part of a US investment mission to Northern Ireland.
The investment will be made indirectly via an allocation to private equity funds.
The pension fund has previously invested in Northern Ireland in this way.
The announcement came on the first day of a delegation of business people led by the United States Special Envoy Joe Kennedy III.
US President Joe Biden promised the delegation when he visited Northern Ireland earlier this year.
He said "scores" of US firms wanted to come to Northern Ireland; some already employing over 30,000 people.
The delegation is a blend of US companies already present in Northern Ireland and potential investors.
What we do know K, is that the 2024 revenue target was £200 million and we are already at over £170 million, so target will definitely be hit and probably a bit more 🤔
Just need the finance sorted next
Fortunately Kaeren,
I filtered a while ago. But an anagram of the name is quite apt : Lacunose, the adjective being ‘full of holes’ 🙈🤔😉 you could say linked to 7 vast caverns 😂
Happy Sunday
PS H&W doing very nicely and momentum is building on many fronts. My personal target is 5 years from now, when I predict lots of yearly profits and share price over £5 🍹🥳💰🎉

Fantastic to be exploring the many opportunities that this will bring !!!!
This week, members of the Harland & Wolff team returned to the Isles of Scilly to continue community engagement on the company’s plans to build and operate several vessels between Penzance and St Mary’s.
First, we are responding to the Council’s Soft Market Test to design, build, operate new ferries between Penzance and St Mary’s. Our proposal would see the introduction of two Ro-Pax vessels designed for both passengers and freight. The Council’s Sea Links Project is underpinned by £48.4m Levelling Up funding, awarded by government to the islands to enable the vessel replacement programme.
Second, we are introducing a new fast ferry service from May 2024, to increase the number of day trippers to the islands through a faster, more regular, and cheaper service than currently on offer.
Third, following the acquisition of Kraken Marine Services (KMS), we are developing plans to scale both the existing KMS freight offering and develop new scheduled services between the mainland and islands.
Throughout the week, the team was delighted to visit St Mary’s, St Martin’s, St Agnes, Tresco and Bryher to share the current proposals and understand what local people want to see from their future ferry and freight services. A three-day drop-in session was held at the new Harland & Wolff office on St Mary’s, which will serve as the new booking office for the company’s operations.
