Brexit ferry contract worth £13.8 million awarded to company with no ships

ITV posted:

Questions have been raised over the Government’s preparations for a no-deal Brexit, after it emerged a £13.8 million contract to run extra ferries has been handed to a company with no ships which has not previously operated a service.

quote:

Seaborne Freight was one of three companies awarded contracts totalling £108 million last week to lay on additional crossings to ease the pressure on Dover.

The company aims to operate freight ferries from Ramsgate to the Belgian port of Ostend, beginning with two ships in late March and increasing to four by the end of the summer.

But a Conservative county councillor for the Kent port town said he did not believe it would be possible to set up a new service from Ramsgate by the scheduled date of Brexit on March 29.

And Cllr Paul Messenger questioned whether the Government had carried out sufficient checks on the firm, telling the BBC: “It has no ships and no trading history so how can due diligence be done? Why choose a company that never moved a single truck in their entire history and give them £14 million? I don’t understand the logic of that.”

Seaborne was established two years ago and has been in negotiations about running freight ferries between Ramsgate and Ostend, but no services are currently running.
Narrow berths in the port mean there are few suitable commercial vessels available.

quote:

Ramsgate has not had a cross-Channel service since 2013, when operators TransEuropa collapsed.

Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman Sir Ed Davey said: “That the Government has reportedly signed a contract with a ferry company with no ferries pretty much sums up their farcical approach to the entire Brexit fiasco."

I cannot recommended it highly enough to every single person in the US

It's like a people's history but laser focused on slavery and capitalism and is laid out like a really comprehensive yet accessible narrative

A little late but more on the same theme:
  • American Slave Coast — great companion read to The Half...
  • Stamped From The Beginning — racism history
  • Invention Of The White Race — more racism, in particular about how (for example) Irish and Italian people became "white" when they debarked in the US
  • The Color Of Law — racist real estate laws and traditions
  • Rough Crossings — Simon Schama classic about the Revolution and how the British freeing of cooperative slaves turned out (amazing, depressing story)

Whenever this happens the system should assume the worst possible outcome and assign maximum penalties for the police officers involved

That'd curb that practice right quick
