It seems that Svitzer are about to face some competition. Nobleman, Roman and Pullman arrived from the Tees to berth at Northumbrian Quay this afternoon – but first gave a fire-monitor display off the piers and in the harbour!

I sometimes have a look in to the webcam at Ijmuiden when I noticed a non Svitzer Tug doing a manoeuvrability 'dance' outside the Svitzer Office windows
