Shipping News and information / Re: HMS Queen Elizabeth in Invergordon

« on: July 24, 2017, 08:35:07 PM »

Has anyone heard when the Queen Elizabeth is due to finish trials and head back to Rosyth?

Was at sea when she sailed and was hoping to get pictures when she returned to Rosyth before heading south to Portsmouth.

Thanks.

Regards

Help and Advice / Re: Leith Docks

« on: July 06, 2015, 11:48:23 AM »

Both TROMS HERA and TROMS MIRA laid up in Leith for 6 to 9 months due to the lack of work in the offshore sector.

Also

UP JASPER and UP AGATE laid up in Blyth

and

TOISA CONQUEROR, TOISA ENVOY and TOISA VOYAGER laid up in Hull.

That is just the UK. Roughly around 40 offshore vessels laid up in Norway and Denmark.

I would think once the case is finished she would go to auction. She will have been gutted inside but someone will get a good deal and hopefully she will be back working one day

Shipping News and information / Illustrated British and Irish tug and workboat PDF

« on: April 18, 2015, 05:39:23 AM »

Hello everyone,

I've created an PDF Book of British tugs and workboats. The vessels are listed by company.

I hope to publish it as paper book in the future but it is just a PDF to pass on to fellow enthusiasts just now.

If anyone is interested in a copy just e-mail me at [email protected] and I'll send it on. The PDF is around 19MB.

I hope you find it useful and feel free to share it.

Regards
