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!
