SD HUSKY and WARRIOR III

Berthing EDINBURGH at the fuel jetty at Campbeltown required the services of two tugs, and as a submarine movement was taking place on the upper firth, SD HUSKY was assisted at the Kintyre port by Svitzer's WARRIOR III. The two tugs are seen here alongside the old pier at Campbeltown waiting for their customer to turn up. SD HUSKY is one of a handful of survivors of the formerly sizeable 'Dog' class, now reduced to just four vessels. She was built in 1969 by the Appledore shipyard in Devon, and is scheduled for early replacement in the Serco Denholm fleet.
