The recently renamed SD-SALMOOR was seen passing down the Firth this morning as she made her way from the Great Harbour to Fairlie. Recently, the vessels belonging to the Royal Maritime Auxiliary Service have, as previously noted, all been given the 'SD' prefix to their names. From April this year, they will not only be operated by Serco Denholm, but also be owned by them following a lengthy tendering process resulting in the award of a fifteen year contract to provide marine support services to the Royal Navy throughout the UK.Sunday, 20 January 2008
