ORAC,

BBC has some info re such projects which are organic to the US Army and US Navy for such things.

Perhaps some cut and paste on the drawings could prove a lucrative return for the UK designers.

US Army ships are headed to Gaza now.

This was done in Kuwait and used for years and has been done in Military Training Operations in South Korea.

Harland & Wolff preferred bidder on Falklands port project

Harland & Wolff has announced that it has been awarded preferred bidder status for the Falkland Islands Port Replacement Project (FIPASS).

The project will involve the construction, transportation and installation of four floating pontoons of circa 90 metres each in length.

The project is expected to generate between £100m and £120m revenue over a two-year period commencing in FY24.

The company will use it expansive facilities across the UK to provide optionality and de-risk the fabrication of these pontoons.
