    Don't the Canadian Naval Reserve operate those vessels?


    Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

      Yup - I think there are 16 in the class, 14 operated by reserve, and we have a pool in Ireland of qualified marine officers with tow, salvge and offshore experience, myself included

          By that I assume you mean "Very Cramped".

            oof! bit tight for Merchant standards that - but as I pointed out, the compliment is very heavy for what would be required in Ireland / Western EU other than for specialist roles where extra bodies would be needed

                From Program for government(very last page).

                Safety at sea and decent working conditions must underpin the development of the fisheries
                sector. We will explore the provision of an emergency towing vessel for the Coastguard.

                  Another lucrative Coastguard contract?

                    Maybe they can lease the KTL vessels when the MCA ETV contract ends very soon.

                          Coastguard as one word means subject to HM Crown. Have had a lot levied against the CG but not that!

                            Maybe it will save cost to have the former HM Coastguard ETV operating with our "Coast Guard"? No need to repaint the hull to make a space between the words on the side?

                            Like you had to do when it changed from IMES....
                            It's a touch pedantic if you don't mind me saying so. Like the Difference between Navy and Naval service. As long as the job gets done, who cares what it's called.

                              Looks like it could do with a coat of paint!

                              If wiki is correct, the company may just keep them?

                              Would it be possible to get the bollard tow capability as part of the EPV?

                                It's an MOU rather than a contract at the moment.
