I am informed that QUEEN MARY will depart Tilbury Dock tomorrow at around 11am and enter the river by midday. She is being towed by Thames Towage tug BOSS TUG and Carmet tug VENTURE to Glasgow.

This information is yet to be confirmed by the owners of Queen Mary/PLA - I will update as soon as i can confirm later today
