Delta ARRC
Hi, does anybody know what happened to the Delta ARRC vessels that BP owned?

Thanks for any guidance in advance.

Stuart

I'm sitting in port Edgar marina right now. They're all here. People working on them earlier. Depending who you believe about 800k will get you one.

Two of these boats are now sitting on the Itchen River in Southampton, between Saxon Wharf and the bitterne bridge.

Shiny new paint job, all warship grey. Anyone know who has bought them?

I noticed the Border Force "Eagle" in Shoreham Harbour today looking very smart.

Looks like one of them got caught up in the recent carnage at Holyhead marina

Talk about rubbing salt in the wounds ! The second vid at -1m15s shows the workboat that’s recovering the Border Force go over the top of a semi-submerged yacht. If the mast was salvageable it ain’t now !!!

That was not only unnecessary but incompetent. You can be sure everyone with marine insurance will wind up paying for the Holyhead mess and that doesn’t help.
The way the tug dragged the Cat off the rocks looked a bit GungHo too as it’s clearly got a lot of water on board and actually looked marginal about nose diving as it came off. These guys don’t subscribe to the mantra that no matter how bad things are, you can always make them worse!
