WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BY THE DEPUTY OF ST. JOHN

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 21st SEPTEMBER 2009

Question

Could members be advised of the exact works carried out in the re-fit of the fisheries vessel the Norman Le Brocq, detailing the costs of each section of works; when the vessel was taken out of service; when it went back into service; whether the work was undertaken by a Jersey shipyard, and if not, explain why this work could not be carried out in the Island given the local expertise available?

Answer

The vessel was out of service from 13th February 2009 until 31st July 2009. The work was undertaken by Goodchild Marine Services Ltd who are based in Great Yarmouth. This is the same yard that Jersey Harbours, the RNLI and several UK authorities use for major items of work on their medium sized vessels. Due to the complexity and scale of the work, the need for a controlled environment covered facility and the location of specialist sub contractors, the work could not efficiently be undertaken in Jersey.
