It all sounds a bit dodgy, some of this is caused by the UK government not giving H&W the ship refit order.

But other things on financial health and loans(see old bel tel articles) sound iffy.

I thought the government had committed to build 3 RN supply ships there?

H&W also went off piste, by trying to start a rival ferry service between Penzance and the Scilly Isles, not just building the ship, but also running the service. The service was cancelled the week it was due to start.
