Have heard this morning the vessel returned to the shipyard due to bearing trouble. Will advise progress.

Proposed date of further sea trials is the 15th July, depending on the successful testing of the third ships engines on the 9th, so again it is all dependent!

Won't be in Haulbowline for Seafest so. Very unfortunate and high profile.
