Falkland Islands’ assessing options for the expansion of port facilities
Falkland Islands port facilities are under assessment given the prospects of oil industry activities in the near future and two options are being considered by the local government: a new port project, and an interim development of the current facilities at FIPASS. Read full article

Aug 04th, 2012 - 10:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Are you joking? Do you realise that she is looked upon like a jealous, ex greedy wife who wants everything yet has nothing to bargain.
Maybe one day when Argentina has a leader with a brain who recognises the FI as part of the commonwealth, then there might be talks of economic collaboration.
Her aggressive actions will amount to jack sh1t and just make her look like the school whinning bitch that everybody ignores.
I'm surprised that all Argentines don't accept that the Falkland Islanders want to chose their destiny. The UK don't make bones about the Faroe Islands so why should Argentina be any different?
Move forward and peace out!

Aug 04th, 2012 - 11:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0We take her 'kind offer' at face value (ie worthless).
Why send the oil to Argentina, or use there facilities,
Aug 04th, 2012 - 11:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0After a while she will just take it over, like everything else,
The Falklands must grow, that is her destiny, but a decision on whenever to do this alone , or attach it to south America in some way .
, but the decision must be final, as their will be no going back.
.
Argentines Drool over The Falklands tremendous success with envy in the same way when they do at the Olympic success GB is having winning all those medals, they despise the success of others which they find incapable of achieving for themselves both economically and in sports thats why cheating, lies and corruption is Argentinas forte, its a pity those arent Olympic events they would easily win GOLD!!!!

Aug 05th, 2012 - 09:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0I agree with BK that we should at least recognize the true genius of the lovely Christina. She has not only succeeded in getting the punters worked up into a lather, she has also ensured that no solution capable of calming them down can be enacted. This will keep the Peronists in hot dogs for years to come, like the wars in Orwell's 1984.
Nestor, the non investor's mistake in pulling out of cooperation talks with UK/FI means that the Islands are again forced to become independent of Argentina.
Aug 05th, 2012 - 10:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0In fact it is the ridiculous ' Falkland Islands are ours or bust' policy that means that the FIG will get a proper port built. After all the Falklands at one time generated most of its income from ship repairs, regrettably they took the p**s by charging too much and lost this trade when the Panama canal opened.
If the oil fields are not as productive as hoped, the Islands can still gain financially (or at least pay for the port eventually) by having proper port facilities.
The policy of banning the Islands ships from South America will spectacularly backfire on Argentina, and thay will rue this mistake in the years to come as the Falkland Islands will be able to attract more worldwide trade.
And this is assuming the oilfields are not successful.
Allthough the problems might be different, I wonder if the Falklands authorities and construction companies have considered the example set by the Mulberry harbours in 1944. Some very brief research indicates that these British constructions were designed and constructed in less than two years. The harbours were made up of all the elements one would expect of any harbour: breakwater, piers, roadways etc. The Mulberries were never designed to be permanent. Nevertheless, they were in place 3 days after D-Day and, although one was destroyed in an Atlantic storm, the other was used for 8 months. It was used to land over 2.5 million men, 500,000 vehicles, and 4 million tonnes of supplies under wartime conditions. Probably more than a similar construction in the Falklands would have to endure. And could possibly be made permanent. After all, the Allies had little interest in the Mulberries once they had captured existing ports.
Aug 05th, 2012 - 12:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“”“ it is the ridiculous ' Falkland Islands are ours or bust' policy”“”
Aug 05th, 2012 - 12:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yup, CFK has really harmed the chances of any sort of deal with the Falklands people and there's no way any British government will sell the Falklands people out (and survive any subsequent election).

Aug 05th, 2012 - 02:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As I understand it the FIPASS is a sort of offspring of Mulberry, presumably it can be extended as the article implies. It seems to depend a great deal on whether or not oil starts to flow.
All Welcome the arrival of Argentina to the Olympics 2012, finally. After 9 days of the Successful Team Gb raking in GOLD,SILVER & BRONZE! Argentina has eventually snatched their only medal even if it is bronze, a medal is a medal. Well done Argentina it is more than what you deserve.

Hey this is great, the british illegal aliens will build a bigger port in Islas Malvinas Argentina let's hope that if Argentina ever builds a nuclear defense we don't aim the nukes there so we don't have to re-build it. I wonder how soon can we set sea mines charges all around Islas Malvinas Argentina to stop the theft of resources.

cowardly mines?
Aug 05th, 2012 - 05:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0lol, you do have to wonder about Argentina's ability to build a nuke: firstly you need world-class industry (oops) then you need long term economic stability (oops) then you need long term political stability (oops) lots & lots of money (oops) lots & lots of world-class scientists (oops) and, well...
Aug 05th, 2012 - 05:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In the meantime CFK has destroyed any and all political future of Argentina and the Falklands people whilst the continued economic future of the Falklands itself is ever brighter and brighter. Add the rock-like fundamental political support of the UK as a nation, well...
.. when you get right down to it, no clouds on the horizon at all for the Falklands Island people.
It's just a shame that CFK had ruined the chances of Argentines also benefiting from the local success of the Falklands Islanders. I am sure, with a less vituperative, more long-sighted and emotionally stable premier the future of the Islands in partnership with some of its neighbours could have been something special.
Inexorably the Argentine people will come to realise this and I imagine that in decades hence they will look back at the ruination of their country to populist leaders hell-bent on colonialism as a cure to dying economics as the lowest point in their history.
@21 the use of mines pie-hunter propsed a ring of mines around falklands would be in proximity of cruises, fishing boats, tankers a cowards tactic but then again when has that ever stopped argentina... they are still removing mines in the Falklands 30 years later.
Aug 05th, 2012 - 05:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#20 if it does happens good luck finding them lol sorry international community but Malvinas Argentina is not international but Argentina, it might even be bias to say anything to Argentina when the theft is done by brits, I think they will have to deal with the british illegal aliens and pirates before Argentina's self determination.
Aug 05th, 2012 - 06:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#21 mines are better then arming terrorists as UK done in afghanistan, iraq, Libya, Syria, Sri lanka,, Congo, mali, sudan and somalia.
#22 lol why do all that when you can trade nuclear technology for 50%of the oil found in Islas Malvinas Argentina, trust me you get more fish with live byte then you you with a lure.,
#23 as long as we don't arm terrorists or kill women and children in schools, hospitals and churches we will do better then USA and UK did in Libya and now Syria. I think mines are far better then killing innocent people. Trust me Malvinas Argentina has no legal shipping of anything so no innocents will ever be hurt. Fakland island holdings is to blame for bringing undocumented workers to exploit foreign land. They had more then 100 years to fix it and now Argentina will find a solution one way or another. I would have fixed in one big bang and over night. Maybe our government has more patience Then I. Time has the last say.

@17 Question 1. If the Mulberries could be constructed in 2 years, why would additional facilities in the Falklands take 5 or 6?
Aug 05th, 2012 - 07:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Question 2. Anyone remember PLUTO? The “Pipe-Lines Under The Ocean”. Starting in 1945, PLUTO eventually transferred 1 million gallons of fuel from England to France every day. Combine the two.
@24 Sorry, PH. No matter what your psychosis tells you, you have not successfully proved that the Falkland Islands should belong to your cesspit. Until you manage that, I suggest you find a convenient brick wall on which to bang your head. Please follow this advice. Hopefully, it will kill you! Just remember that there are hundreds of thousands of terrorists in your cuntry. They are known as argies. As history shows, over time, they regularly kill men, women and children. In fact, they constantly search out more “imaginative” ways of extermination. Does this surprise you? From the 16th century onwards, they used insane mechanical and, in some cases, penetrative devices. Later on, they used 19th and 20th century weapons. As well as gravity. And now YOU recommend the use of nuclear devices. Indicating that YOU are the same sort of murdering, genocidal maniac as your predecessors. What I'd really like to do is to secure YOU face down and then, with assistance, hammer a steel spike through your head (and other parts) an inch, or less, at a time. I also have other, excruciating, medieval thoughts for your slow end. There have been various accusations against me. But I am happy that I am only willing to respond. So actually, slime-sh*t, I'd just like you to make a hostile move so that I can recommend your obliteration. I have to admit that it is not an action that will satisfy me. Obviously others like YOU must also be obliterated, but what I find really regrettable is that I will not be able to watch YOU and others like YOU scream in unbearable agony as YOU MELT!

I might even apply myself to the Argentina government to test my own stealth mine equipment in Malvinas Argentina.

26- FIPASS is a much larger and higher tec version of Mulberry- as befits 4 yrs on anway. Basically 3 large floation “docks” bolted together and moored and kept under tension on their anchors as the tide moves. Connected to the land by a bridge that “adjusts” to the tidal height of the dock. Problem is they are now 30yrs old and will not last much longer and the bridge cannot take the loads that the oil industry will be demanding in 2014 onwards. Aim as I see it is to build a simple stone casuseway out at deeper end from the shore and then sheetpile a stone wharf of about 2/3rds the original length again.
Aug 05th, 2012 - 08:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This will give the access needed- extra berth space needed from 2014-2018, and a Stanley Harbout pier when the old bit finally collapses/sinks.
They may get 2 new floating barges instead of a solid jetty head - not sure.
Even with the new Deep Water Port outside there will still be a need in Stanley Harbour for a pier for oil tanker supplies to the fuel company tank farm, some cruise vessels etc.
Well done the Arg Tennis player getting a bronze! Cannot deny that Arg does quite often produce some good tennis players.

That's because, as the coward he is, he can be very 'brave' sacrificing other people when he wouldn't have to live with the consequences of these actions.

@30 Del Potro was once invited to Casa Rosada but declined the invitation. Then, somehow, he had all the IRS behind him and he still does!
Aug 08th, 2012 - 06:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Port:
The expansion and/or refurbishing of the port is not new although the intention was not to build a new one. I remember a past project, which included building of a number of general cargo warehouses, a port facility to host tourists, and separate piers for fishing boats, cargo ships and tourist's vessels. All of these and other improvements were to be paid with local resources without asking a single penny from the UK. Then, the fleeting MOD stepped in and - in an act more proper to a 19th century colonial power - decided that the project was not authorised and had to be dumped.
This brings me to the following questions: i) Are you sure that the MOD will stay away now? ii) Why? iii) With the UK crisis being far from over, will the actual David Cameron (not the one who writes hereon) allow it?
You badly need at least what you wanted in 2006/2007. Hope you get it.
All best wishes!

The govt. consists of a Prime Minister who appoints MP's to head various ministries in his cabinet and then we have the elected Members of Parliament from various parties.
The PM cannot make decisions on his own that require parliamentary approval and then carry them through.. He may suggest, bully or promise favours in return for support but Parliament, in the form of its MP's can still stop him - at least, that's the theory.
Whereas CFK can say “My will be done” and every body jumps. In the UK they would tell the PM to get stuffed - that's a real democracy.

Aug 10th, 2012 - 04:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It might be new for you, but I've been once elected by the CPGB as candidate for the Commons... so I indeed know how the cookie crumbles in UK's government system, especially how funds are obtained for the party's campaigns. Unions give, as you know, most of theirs to Labour, but personal work by astute party members contacting the appropriate people in the right moment may make that a wedge goes instead to the Conservatives. If you happen to be acquainted with the Right Hon PM, ask him about this and he may give you the chance if you had the contacts.
The port refurbishing and/or building of a new one has been bouncing for long and it is time that something big is done to cater for the everyday growing berthing and storage needs. I understand that the UK will not give any financial support (nor it will be asked for) so, unless the British czars have any hideous ideas, the best project will be accepted provided that the Islands' Government budget can take care 100% of it.
To my humble view, the civilian airport is another weak link in the islands' economy, whose status should be revised. I understand that the islands' government pays for the use of the MoD's airport. What I cannot understand is why the MoD can have an airport and make the islanders pay for using it, without some kind of compensation. Can't this be set against a local land tax to be paid by the ModD for having this strip and military buildings, using islands' land? If the MoD can charge unresonably high prices for their chatered flights (supposedly subsidised by the local government) I can't imagine why it cannot be heavily taxed. A Tit for a Tat...

The ones I know have enough trouble fighting to get to the bottom of a whiskey bottle. If you live in Canada then your medication is free so why don't you take it, or better yet get on a plane, stop in Phoenix and pick up SussieUS and get the fuck back to Argentina where you belong. Go to Gualeguychu during carnival, I'm sure you can find 14 “men” there that would be happy to service you! Whereabouts in Canada are you, I wouldn't mind pulling you over the next time I see you on the road.

Please stop embarrassing yourself like this. You have proven in every post that you know nothing of weaponry, economics, tactics or politics.
If Argentina did get a nuclear device it would be subject to economic sanctions from the UN. No exports, no imports, no financial aid, until you had dismantled the device.
If Argentina gets a nuclear device all of your neighbours would get nuclear devices to defend themselves from Argentine aggression. So you would have Brazil, Chile, Peru and possible Uruguay all pointing their weapons at Argentina, not at the Falklands.
Why? Because time and time again, Argentina has betrayed its South American neighbours, and they wouldn't trust you not to try and blackmail them. The Falklands are just 3,000 people who want to get on with their lives without outside interference, and the rest if South America know that Britain has no interest in South America beyond trade and good diplomatic relations.
The Falkland Islanders would, of course, have the protection of the UK, but if Argentina did pre-emptively use these weapons against the Islanders, the UK would have every right, under Article 51 to respond in kind.
Not only that, but Brazil, Chile etc...would also respond against such an attack, as they would feel that they would be next.
By the way, PH, why do you live in Canada if you love Argentina so much?
Why don't you return to Argentina and live the way all the other Argentines have to. High inflation, increasing food prices, no access to vital medicines, unable ti buy dollars, daily strikes and blackouts.
Surely you are not going to abandon your 'country' to live an easy life in a Commonwealth country?
Doesn't abandoning Argentina make you a hypocrite?
#70 You're a racist scumbag
