I would think now the case has cleared. Preperations would take maybes about a week. Then set sail, so I would reckon maybes 3 or 4 weeks before she will be due. So the first few days would be ideal for me as I have 4 days off that weekend. Or 23/24 October. Any of them days for docking would be great for me. :lol:
As Able will be wanting it docked as soon as possible so to complete the cofferdam across the dock entrance. For dismantling work to begin. I would say at the earliest about mid November- December that they will be wanting to start dismantling work. With the amount of building work going on in the yard it looks like mid- late November would be likely to have been completed, so scrapping could of been started.
Reading the articles in the media, responses from the 2 protesters say that they have been involved with cancer, one of there fathers died after cancer due to Asbestos exposure. So they say they know what the are talking about. But if the father was exposed to Asbestos years ago, before regulations were inplemented about the use and working with the stuff came into force. Then that is where their judgement is clouded.
Nowadays with so many regulations in place with regards to Asbestos and working with it. The risk has been pretty much diminished, with proper care taken on its use and disposal, there is hardly any health risk posed.
