BIBBY PIONEER leaving port this morning. Svitzer Redbridge and Fiery Cross are at the bow with Ormesby Cross at the stern.

We now know what the Cranes are for, loading Cable!

Currently Anchored off Margate with BRUTUS and FORTH DRUMMER.

She is not an easy barge to tow and hook up to with all that steelwork sticking out. She took a nasty sheer to the Pilot Jetty at Blyth the last time she came back from the Tyne.

I wasn't going to post this one but I decided why not! It was taken with my 100mm-400mm zoom lens and when I realised I couldn't get it all in, I took two photographs and, with the help of Photoshop, I joined the two images together - and you can't see the join!

Glad you did Stan. She is currently Anchored off Margate with BRUTUS.
