Pilsum
Our vessel Kingston was contracted to put to sea from Poole on New Year’s Eve 2017 to tow the disabled coaster the Pilsum....
Greenland is a developing nation and requires special vessels that can operate without traditional harbours. Operators there have found ex military landing craft to be ideal. The only problem though is the certification on these vessels limits their operational area so cant make the exposed passage to Greenland The only cost effective option is to tow them. Our tug Goliath was selected to carry out this towage from the West coast of Scotland due to being twin screw allowing for redundancy in the event of mechanical problems. On this project Goliath performed faultlessly and delivered the tow in amongst stunning scenery in the land of the midnight sun to her new owners.
