Apparently all the Serco tugs will gain red funnels by September.
In Devonport, we have the former Briggs 'Forth Engineer'. This has been repainted into black and buff livery, and given red funnels with SD logos. She has also been renamed 'SD Engineer'.
One crew member of 'SD Faithful' has said that they have to paint their funnels red by September.
