What a waste of coastguard vessels
(1/1)
tarbat:
As reported by the BBC - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-15260024
These ships are doing nothing, when they're needed around the UK coast.
Budgie:
Sadly these are not Coastguard vessels now, they are just tugs owned by JP Knight and don't currently have any work. :(
tarbat:
Yes, all three are now safely moored at Invergordon awaiting refit by JPKnight.
And in the meantime the government still haven't concluded a contract for the promised 3 months extension to the coastguard tugs coverage in Scotland. It's a disgrace.
tarbat:
Hoorah, for three months anyway - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-15313505

Budgie:
Just seen that report as well.
So that takes us to the middle of January then, just as the winter storms are due to hit!!
