Rising nicely - good timing emeraldzebra.

Fendercare carried out the first ever ship-to-ship transfer of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Gibraltar:

Bought a few more at 1285
yesterday

Neorolodger,

it is probably a mistake to to try. markets can be " illogical " ,
particularly in the short term.

[neurolodger] 01/4/2015 16:42

Can't understand the slow downward slide despite good fundamental

[emeraldzebra] 01/4/2015 10:23

p/e still seems v undemanding

[emeraldzebra] 01/4/2015 08:40

yes - bit disappointed (and surprised) - however an opportunity to top up which i did at £13.44 - a bit early.

[deadly] 30/3/2015 12:42

Come off quite a bit the last week despite the favourable news.
SO I bought back some of those I sold at over 1420.
Goes XD in a few weeks

[gucci] 24/3/2015 10:27

hopefully start of next leg up

Looking at growth in the UAE and surrounding area:



And FSJ's offshore support boat has evidently been so successful that they're looking at getting a second one:

[emeraldzebra] 20/3/2015 09:14

v good ! every chance they will be testing the £15.00 level soon i would hope - and possibly a bit more. steady away - the ship looks to be on an even keel.

[rivaldo] 19/3/2015 08:42

Going well now at new recent highs.

I came across this news showing that FSJ are making further acquisitions which haven't even been mentioned on RNS, presumably due to size, but are still adding to the Group's attractiveness and profitability:



"James Fisher Nuclear announces the acquisition of High Technology Sources Limited (HTSL) based in Didcot, Oxfordshire.

etc"

Good to have the chartists on side too :o)) Next stop 1600p.....



"Next up in terms of the stocks defying gravity at the moment is James Fisher (FSJ), where we are trading in the aftermath of a triple bottom between October and January, as well as the clearance of the 200 day moving average at the beginning of this month at 1,241p. What has been particularly encouraging to date this month is the way that the retracement from the 200 day line break failed to reach back down to this feature before a new rally took hold.

This allows us to speculate that at least while above the initial March resistance at 1,319p on an end of day close basis the upside here could still be significant, despite the gains already notched up. The favoured upside at this point is seen as being as great as the top of a rising trend channel from September, currently heading as high as 1,600p. The time frame on such a move could be by the end of next month."

added to which -- there will have been some worried 'shorters' closing out i expect.

[emeraldzebra] 11/3/2015 08:51

Indeed -a good performance - but really just a catching up excercise when there was no logical reason for the recent weakness in the first place ! They just don't really have much quality opposition - and that factor is making itself felt here i think.

[deadly] 10/3/2015 17:49

Bizarre rise today against a collapsing market!

[emeraldzebra] 10/3/2015 16:39

a good day today too - amid all the rest of the Red !

[rivaldo] 09/3/2015 10:57

Hi roddie, looks fine to me so not much more I can do!

Good to see FSJ rising nicely, and on decent volumes too both last week and today.

[roddiemac2] 06/3/2015 20:57

Must be me , I have never mastered all the possibilities . Other BB`s are ok.

Bouleversee, I deliberately typed my last post narrow as a comparison. Moi aussi --- b all about computers.

[scottishfield] 06/3/2015 19:05

ok here on riv's posts

[bouleversee] 06/3/2015 18:26

roddiemac -

I can read his posts OK. However, I note that your margins seem to be set very narrow, i.e. lines short, so perhaps it's your computer settings or whatever.

Safari on a Mac is OK roddie.

[roddiemac2] 06/3/2015 17:08

hello rivaldo,

It is impossible to read all the words in your posts
because they go beyond the page margin on the right,
and there is no facility to scroll sideways . Is
anyone else having this problem --?

[emeraldzebra] 06/3/2015 09:05

thanks Tday-----have to say they do sound quite spivvy on the phone !!

Good coverage and management comment here:



"Seething-based Fendercare lands Royal Navy contract
08:00 04 March 2015
Stephen Pullinger

Norfolk-based Fendercare Marine has signed a significant contract with BAE Systems Naval Ships to supply rudder components and deck equipment for three new offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) being built for the UK Royal Navy.

The contract for BAE Systems Naval Ships includes rudder blades, rudder stocks, sleeves/liners for rudder stock, anchors and chain for the vessels.

Lara Griffin, Fendercare’s products division director, said the selection of their company by BAE Systems underlined the industry’s recognition of their abilities to provide a quality and value for money service and approach to defence contracts.

She said: “We have been dealing with the MoD for more than 15 years since we designed a lightweight fendering system with the Japanese company Yokohama.

“They are really important to us and we have been providing them with mooring equipment for a number of years.”

Design work for the contract is being carried out at the company’s headquarters in Seething where more than 130 staff are employed.

Production of the new OPVs started in October 2014 at BAE Systems’ facility in Govan, Glasgow. The 90m OPV is based on a proven BAE Systems design which is already in service with the Brazilian Navy and Royal Thai Navy.

As well as supplying the MoD, the EDP Top100 company also supports navies throughout the world, winning a $29m contract with the US Navy in 2012.

Ms Griffin said Fendercare was continuing to see year on year growth - and a key factor in that was its diverse interests.

“When one side of the business is struggling another can be doing well. We are always looking at new businesses,” she said.

Three years ago the company invested more than £1m in a new Great Yarmouth base with an eye to supporting the burgeoning offshore wind industry with a workboat maintenance facility.

From its base in the Devonport Royal Dockyard in Plymouth, the company’s Naval Solutions division provides fabrication, welding and coating services for the MoD, having previously worked on nuclear submarines, warships and naval support vessels."

I have had dealings with Galvan and would not trust them, with even a penny of my money.
