𝗖𝗧 𝗩𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 arriving back on the River Mersey this week after completing the tow of the dredger Ronnie W, from Dordrecht to Runcorn.

The dredger, which is being renamed 𝗪𝗣 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿, is now owned by Draca Marine and will primarily be used to dredge sand for the construction and agricultural industry.

A big thanks to the crew onboard for all their efforts on this trip.

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.
