SVITZER KENT - IMO 9695602 now inward bound in the Thames Estuary

Also heard that SVITZER DEBEN - IMO 9695585 will also be coming to the Thames for a joint naming ceremony with SVITZER KENT & also SVITZER LONDON which has been in service for a while.

Can anyone confirm that?

Regards

Bob

KENT was carrying out trials off Denton Wharf, Gravesend this afternoon. I have posted a pic of this taken from on the wharf.
