Late in November Newcastle based Osprey Shipping Ltd welcomed home their new tug ‘ Osprey Fighter’ and barge ‘ Osprey Carrier’ . The new vessels were constructed in China and arrived in the Tyne after a grueling and eventful delivery voyage from the Far East. The purpose built 50 tons bollard pull ASD tug and the new 4,464 dwt heavy deck cargo barge represent a considerable investment for the British company, which will employ the vessels for coastal and deep sea transportation. A full account of the new tug and barge will appear in the January 2008 issue.
