DIAN KINGDOM which has been lying alongside the barge LOUIS wasn't waiting for the tow but seems to have been some sort of safety vessel.
Barge LOUIS was due to sail to Peterhead with its load of wind turbine bases 07/02/2018. Tyne tugs were scheduled to bring the barge downriver to then meet up with UNION LYNX to take over the tow. LYNX left her berth at North Shields heading up river to meet the barge. DIAN KINGDOM left the river.
And then the job was called off.
LYNX didn't even turn round, she just backed up to her berth and DIAN KINGDOM which had just gone through the piers and declared Dundee as her next port of call, turned round and came back in again.
They are going to have another go today.
