@rmpdesign Press release on the website now, marintec moved to 2023. Although at the rate I wouldn't be holding my breath

[ShipTalk @ship_talk]

I'm hearing that marintec has been postponed once again.

[ShipTalk @ship_talk]

@GregAtkinson_jp Although with posidonia smm and marintec all on , can't see it happening

[ShipTalk @ship_talk]

Well that's #norshipping gone from January's plans

[ShipTalk @ship_talk]

@GregAtkinson_jp It is postponed...

[ShipTalk @ship_talk]

Rather glad I convinced the ceo that not booking #marintec this year was the sensible move. Otherwise I'd be stuck in a Pudong hotel right now, fuming

@TomMacSweeney To put that in perspective, that's approximately 363 Americas Cup trophies long.

@Ben_MUK @thisischerilyn @MikeKaneMP @MaritimeUK This the same govt who are about to hand out 18 new North Sea oil exploration licences ?

Only thing they're interested in conserving is their own wealth.

@RileyD100 @mrjamesob Which says an employer can claim for a furloughed workers holiday, but doesn't say anything about being furloughed just for the duration of annual leave

[ShipTalk @ship_talk]

Last week I booked two weeks holiday and today got a letter informing me I was being furloughed for the same two weeks.

Is that legal? And does it count as holidays?
