"Fendercare signs contract
27 Jun 2013

Fendercare Marine is proud to confirm the signing of a contract to supply the Thorn-D non-toxic fouling defence technology from Micanti at Seawork 2013.

Thorn-D antifouling is a physical barrier against marine growth (fouling) like barnacles and mussels which has a minimum lifetime of 5 years and is 100% environmentally friendly.

Currently being used in shipping, aquaculture and offshore sectors, Micanti's Thorn- D perfectly complements the Fendercare Marine product portfolio. For Micanti, the cooperation is an excellent chance to enter the UK market as well as expand the application of Thorn-D into other segments like buoys and fenders.

Fendercare Marine Sales Manager, Bill Wilkes commented: " We are delighted to be able to add the Thorn-D to the range of products and services we offer to our customers. We are celebrating our 25th anniversary this year, and this announcement is another great way in which we are giving even greater service to our customers."

Yes could see a decent run until the next results in August.

[scottishfield] 03/7/2013 19:44

better day today, perhaps a period of 'up' now.

[rivaldo] 02/7/2013 13:14

Cheers philanderer, good news. Their 1111 price target indicates some way to go - it would be interesting to see their EPS forecasts.

[roddiemac2] 02/7/2013 12:15

philanderer,

FSJ have been a success story for a long time, and there is every reason to believe the company will continue to do well.

Several investors who post here occasionally , myself included, have been invested for over ten years. I hope to hold the shares for the duration of my time on this rather congested planet. FSJ is profiting from this congestion as mankind is forced increasingly to exploit the oceans: the last frontier; they are in all the right markets.

[philanderer] 02/7/2013 11:40

On the wachlist.

Canaccord initiates coverage with 'buy' and 1111p target

[johnv] 02/7/2013 09:04

This multi-million dollar contract, to be completed over the next year, further reinforces Strainstall's market leading position in the TLP mooring monitoring market.

[johnv] 01/7/2013 16:45

where does it say multi million?

[cfro] 01/7/2013 16:12

Agree riv., todays share price dip is a little silly given the multi-million contract win.

On that note i decided it was a good time to buy some more.

[rivaldo] 01/7/2013 10:00

Bonkers - just 1,500 shares traded so far today.

Just imagine what will happen once FSJ finally gets on the City's radar!

[sundance 13] 01/7/2013 09:41

And the share price goes down!

[cfro] 01/7/2013 08:01

Excellent, another nice contract win.

[cambium] 01/7/2013 07:54

Multi million

[battlebus2] 01/7/2013 07:35

Very nice indeed. Completed over the next year too.

[rivaldo] 01/7/2013 07:20

"British stocks bursting with talent
Mark Atherton
Last updated at 12:01AM, June 8 2013

Our sluggish economy may not be able to match the growth rates of many emerging markets but there are still a number of UK companies out there which are world-beaters in their field.

With the help of investment experts, Times Money highlights some stocks that truly are the "Best of British"....

James Fisher

This maritime services company offers high-margin bespoke services to shipping and offshore oil companies. John Hatherly, of Seven Investment Management, the wealth manager, says the very specialist nature of its work means it is difficult for rivals to supplant it.

For the offshore oil industry it offers platform design and maintenance, along with a diving and inspection service. It is heavily involved in the North Sea and has benefited from renewed investment in that area."

[cfro] 04/6/2013 18:04

I cant understand the share price weakness recently either. Company is trading as well as i've ever known it as far as im concerned.

This is a SETs traded stock and these are generally pushed around quite a bit by the market. Nothing different here to any other similar traded stock imo.

Good medium term strong hold for me.

[jakedog2] 04/6/2013 17:58

Seeing similar behaviour for other shares I hold in the last couple of days. Good updates with SEPU and GBG but people selling.It is if the mkt thinks everything is priced in / fully valued

[battlebus2] 04/6/2013 17:51

We for the most part aren't privy to what's going on behind the scenes and until a contrary view that this company is in excellent shape i won't be selling.
