I won't question any money our government decides to spend on the Coasties or shipbuilding, but I didn't think that the Teleost was that old.

The structures on the stern of the Mighty Servant 3 are buoyancy casings that don't have any through deck connections.

Cheers,

Thanks for the link guys.

I agree it is very fortunate that everyone got off.  It looks like they had just completed the float off when she sank.  If she was down in the water and the wrong tanks got flooded there wouldn't be much they could do to save her.  I look forward to reading the report when it's published.

Yours aye,
Stephen

Bad news about the Mighty Servant 3.  There is nothing like the sight of a drill rig being lifted out of the water to define heavy transport.  I wonder if Dockwise will move to replace her or if they'll just redeploy the fleet.

harbour; Yes Dockwise Yacht Transport is a seperate business entity.  Right now they have 4 vessels I think, mainly the older Dock Expresses and Super Servants.  There were plans to build a new specific yacht transporter but I'm not sure if they followed through on them.
