Interesting to see how its done, one tug controls the bow and provides the propulsion, the other controls the stern and provides the 'brakes'

There is something about tug boats, love em

TY. I was about to ask how the that set up works!

Bit in the EDP about the Haven Bridge problems, affecting Goodchilds as well

Maybe goodchilds should build boats suitable for the navigation with low airdrafts?:default_smiley-angelic002:

what a stupid place to build a business building boats that require a bridge to lift :default_smiley-angelic002:

In all seriousness, lets hope they don't get problems like Oyster had and someone is starting to take some notice.

I would think that they built up their business in the days when the bridges would reliably lift when requested, with the expectation that this would continue.

In the same way as the yards at Reedham and Whitlingham, which used to do re-fits on oil rig supply ships.

I believe the sea scouts boat finally made it through Haven Bridge yesterday evening. Some 8 days of delay, going to be costly for someone.

The Council by the sounds of it! 

Council Tax will be going up to cover it!
