SD KYLE OF LOCHALSH

Heading out of Loch Long as HARTLAND POINT arrived, and into the rain, was the considerably smaller SD KYLE OF LOCHALSH, now employed as a trials vessel on the BUTEC range off the Isle of Skye. Originally named MSC LENIE prior to her acquisition by Serco, she was built as a conventional tug in 1997 by David Abel at Bristol, and is now used to support submarine trials and operations at Kyle. She had been loading a container at Glenmallan, and spent the previous night in the Great Harbour.
