The River Humber, into which several rivers discharge their waters, is regarded as a dividing line between the North of England and the South of England. Goole, Immingham, Kingston-upon-Hull and Grimsby are three of the main commercial ports on the River Humber. The River Ancholme, the River Trent and the Yorkshire Ouse are among the rivers that drain into the River Humber while the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation as well as the Aire and Calder Navigation also discharge into the great river. Traditional barges that operate on the River Humber and its tributaries include sloops, with fore-and-aft rigs, and square-rigged keels. Sail power on the commercial waterways of England declined during the twentieth-century, due to the widespread availability of diesel engines, and the traditional sailing craft became a distant memory. Steam power, too, had contributed to the decline of sail power in the nineteenth-century. It was believed, during the era of the two Word Wars, that the conversion of the inland commercial fleet from wind propulsion to motor power would improve the economy. Owners of Humber sloops and keels, therefore, were encouraged to install diesel engines and screw propellers. A sense of romanticism about the past, however, as well as a desire to preserve history emerged in the later twentieth-century and efforts were made to restore the traditional rigs of Humber sailing barges. Modern reconstructions of Humber keels and sloops, which include Annie Barraclough as well as Spider T, retain their fuel-burning engines and propellers but are the closest thing to a traditional sailing barge that can be found on the modern waterways. Renewed interest in sail power, for commercial use, has arisen due to the high levels of carbon emissions generated by fuel-burning merchant vessels. #InlandWaterways #SailCargo #RiverHumber https://lnkd.in/eGgKRCGt

LAND 8710 Phase 1 could represent the first test of speed to capability. The $2 billion project is slated to deliver its first vessel by the end of 2026. It has taken 8 months from when Birdon and Austal were selected as the preferred tender (last November) for the Government to formerly approve Phase 1. The announcement does not make any mention that the parties are in contract or when they expect to be in contract. I do suspect some form of seed contract could have been signed to address long lead items and initial planning. Nevertheless, I am not sure 8 months is what the DSR meant by streamlining the capability acquisition processes. The decision to upturn the bidding process by selecting a design and shipbuilder from competing consortiums may have been the right decision, but it also made things more complicated which in turn possibly explains the drawn-out process. This could have been avoided if an appropriate approach to market strategy was adopted. The customer could have first selected a vessel design (in this case Birdon) and then tendered for a shipbuilder (in this case Austal). It would have been fairer for Industry and cleaner for all. Having the prototype vessel built by a shipyard that was not then selected to participate in LAND 8710 Phase 1 can only cause problems and delays. LAND 8710 Phase 1 could be the first test of speed to capability, and no slippage mantra that echoes through Russel and Campbell Park Offices. I wish all involved Godspeed. Our eyes will be on you. #Land8710-1 #speedtocapability #noslippage

Harland & Wolff (AIM:HARL) has seen a bid approach for Isles of Scilly Steamship Company Ltd rejected. The British shipbuilding and fabrication company said it has been considering the opportunity to build and/or operate ferries to service the Isles of Scilly to Penzance route, which it believes is significantly underserved. It believes there is a clear strategic, operational and financial rationale for the proposed acquisition and expressed disappointment that the approach had been rejected. On Wednesday, after the London close, Isles of Scilly Steamship disclosed the bid approach which it “unequivocally rejected”. It didn’t feel the proposal from H&W was in the best interests of the company's shareholders. The Isles of Scilly Steamship Company operates the principal shipping service from Penzance, in Cornwall, to the Isles of Scilly, and also provides a year-round cargo service...

Ahoy, MinRes Airlie! We have taken delivery of our first transhipper for the Onslow Iron project, following successful sea trials. The innovative Articulated Tug and Barge system was tested, along with a range of maneuvers including speed, turning angles, time to stop and checks of the navigation and mechanical systems. MinRes Airlie is expected to arrive at the Port of Ashburton in the coming months, with transhipping operations to commence mid-year. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gqDZewuj

If the owners were keen to see the shipyard reinstated but the council wasn't, we could work with that. And if the council wanted to see it reinstated to take advantage of the North Sea industry on its very doorstep but the owners weren't interested, we could work with that too. But when both owners and council are working together to ensure it doesn't get reinstated, then how do you square that circle? This is the utter stupidity of the situation. Buyers for the shipyard have been found and customers for the shipyard want to use it - that much is fact, as we have spoken to them all. So, why is the shipyard still in jeopardy? The UK Government and National Shipbuilding Office launched its £4bn strategy in March 2022 and opened it with this: "The strategy sets out the Government’s commitments to the entire UK shipbuilding enterprise and the rich supply chain that underpins it. Not only is this an ambitious strategy, but one that reflects well over £4bn of investment in UK shipbuilding over the next three years alone." Therefore, compulsory purchasing the Pallion Shipyard should and must be at the extreme top of the NSO's agenda, given what it could do not only for Sunderland and the wider North East, but for the UK as a whole. You say you're committed - then prove it, before the UK loses yet more capacity in such needless fashion. #shipbuilding #shiprepair #offshoreindustry #sunderland #northeastbusiness #northeastjobs
