Hi Guys from Sunny Tyneside

I heard that the London based Targe Towing Ltd tug Castle Point has been sent to the Tees, maybe sold to Svitzer, nice tug with a 68T bollard pull and 5.300 BHP.
Anyone spotted her yet?

Her sister tug Stanford has left London for Felixstowe, maybe another one sold??

STANFORD and CASTLE POINT were reported sold by Targe to Svitzer, due to the closure of Coryton on the Thames. The third sister CORRINGHAM is continuing to work on the new Forth Crossing. No new names have been announced as yet.
