Is he busy doing the coffee morning type events so that the really relevant stuff is not given much publicity?

The signs were all there before the election.

Where’s Ciccio? He’d predicted this.

They mean shipping.

Didn’t Muscat say he wants Malta to be like Singapore? He must have mean the filthy seas. There isn’t a decent stretch of shoreline in Singapore because of all the ships moving in and out.

Somebody needed an energy base in this part of the Mediterranean and paid to get it.

Having a moored tanker permanently loaded with gas doesn’t have to be directed towards supplying the ‘power plant’ does it? And if we can have one, why not two? Majtezwel hux.

Has Saptan will be fully refurbished is what Konrad said last year. Why, if changeover to gas implies a drastic reduction in fuel oil storage?

And guess why Birzebbugia’s petroleum division cannot be turned into a ‘university’. Indeed why would Muscat throw a hissy fit he wouldn’t manage to clear it in time?

You ain’t seen nothing yet, when they’re finished your property will be worth absolutely nothing, except to rent it to Filipinos, Indian contract workers and Chinese labourers.

Nice. Hafna takeways.

Energy trade simply industry speak for gas bunkering.

Enjoy.
