I think Blyth is looking to be the next Aberdeen base for offshore supply boats.

Aberdeen has draught restrictions and at present these really large vessels can struggle to get in, especially if there is a swell running down the entrance which is often the case. I think they are looking at doing some rock-blasting to improve it in the longer term.

From what I've picked up on the VHF, which is not much....

Both are in for Repair and Survey.

Hi Paul

You may be right but Maerk Lifter was here only the week before and I could see them welding on her deck,
time will tell.

Their was also talk about a Submersible, however the first one to arrive was down for Survey on the Port Website.

Its a good place for Maintenance, Good Cranage, Transport Links and above all its probably a lot cheaper than other Ports.

Slight correction to last note..........Survey in this case means, engaged in Survey Work, not as I thought, in for Survey!.
