Since starting the towage contract on the Manchester Ship Canal in 1989 we have primarily based our operations out of Eastham. Since moving into our new office in 2021 this is now our daily view. ... See MoreSee Less
Met a couple of the Carmet lads,when they demolished the old oil jetty at Heysham port,a few years ago,when I was working on Heysham pilot boat,great bunch of lads.
Wow would love to see that..The Mersey overall has been very quiet lately..:(..

Our Eurocarrier 𝗖𝗧 𝗩𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 has just completed another project with the jack up barge 𝗔𝗿𝗮𝗻 𝟮𝟱𝟬 on the East Coast. They were pictured towing back into Lowestoft last weekend.
Over the last couple of years the Vector has completed a number of projects with Fugro working with the same jack up barge. Credit to the crew for their continued professionalism. ... See MoreSee Less

Some great shots of the 𝗖𝗧 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗼𝗻 and 𝗖𝗧 𝗨𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗻 recently docking the 𝗡𝗮𝗰𝗰 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗻 from the River Mersey into the lock at the entrance of the Manchester Ship Canal.
For this vessel Carmet provided a full towage service with the MSC tugs then taking over for the passage on the Ship Canal between Eastham and Ellesmere Port.
As well as providing the towage services Carmet also operate the lockgtes at Eastham. A full team effort!
Carmet are continuing to support Draca Marine on the River Mersey. Our workboat 𝗩𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 and hopper barge 𝗠𝗦𝗖 𝗡𝗼𝟰𝟴 are routinely out loading sand from the dredger 𝗔𝗱𝗺𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘆 before returning to Western Point docks on the Manchester Ship Canal.
It's not very often we are looking for new crew on the MSC Tugs, but we are currently seeking an Engineer to join our team! This is a time-for-time live onboard position, on a 1-week rotation.
