Happy New year..

One of our last projects of 2024. Great to support a local activity.

Our workboats 𝗖𝗧 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻 and 𝗩𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 have been supporting Red7Marine at Woodside on the River Mersey. The ferry terminal is being upgraded with two mooring plies being installed for the new pontoon which is currently being built in Liverpool.

In addition to the workboats our 50m flattop barge 𝗖𝗧𝟱𝟬𝟭𝟴 is being untallied with a 400t crawler crane on the deck.

The project is due to continue early next year.
