Im shocked at what little they know about the company. 17 people!!!

There are far more than 17 people employed on site at TERRC. Able UK has many sections to its empire. I think there are even more than 17 people employed in management.

Able UK has been going on for years, so they have a lot of resources and a lot of work which has kept the company ticking over.

Able UK does not rely on the French Government to finance its facilities. As what I have said above, they have plenty of resources in reserve.

By the womens statements, it just goes to show how very little they know about the company or the dealings.

I just hope the Clem comes in next weekend as planned, as if any more delays may be costly as delays to the Oban-B project may be held up.

I'm just getting in touch with Able UK, with this article. Hopefully Able UK will get in touch with the French media and put the story straight and give facts out rather than unfounded hype from the protestors.

Tuxedo Royale was towed out of TERRC this morning to Able Central Quay, Middlesbrough (where the container ships are laid up).

Hi Jon

Thanks for the heads up - may be worth a trip down to Teeside to check her out - of course she is returning to where she traded as a Night Club  :-)

Wouldnt have thought they will leave her there too long otherwise the people of Middlesbrough might not like it - I seem to recall they were quite keen to get her moved when she was there before and she has deteriorated since then.
Looks like Able are pretty certain Clem is imminent.
Anyone seen the weather forecast for the next week - we dont need a weather warning as that might delay her again!

From what I gather is that there is a huge storm system this weekend sweeping across the UK. With 10m waves forecasted.

But from about Mon/ Tuesday it will become calm again with high pressure building. Weather is expected to turn colder on the back edge of this storm system this weekend. So I can see the first part of next weeks being ideal sailing conditions.

Hi

Are you always interested by news concerning the Clem, from Brest?
Nobody seems to be interested in it.
Here are all the same the last.

What are the names of the tugs based on the Tees now?
I assume there is only 5 , with the Pheonix up here on the Tyne.
