That's quite a step up from using ex M.O.D. Vessels, they must be on good terms with their Bank Manager to get a loan for such a 'Racy' looking vessel. :D

Saw the Triton in her Grey Funnel days alongside the Yard at Southampton, certainly an interesting design, I believe she is in the South Pacific area now?
Owned a Dommie 88 would have loved to have owned a Dresda Triton. :D

If you mean the former HMS Triton she is still sat in Alexandra dock, Hull and has been for some while.

I must admit that I thought she was working around Australia some time ago and a Company from there were interested in buying her, I wonder if it all went pear shaped and she returned home for lay up.

Yes, still here. I believe Gardline had bought her but she might have been sold since.
