Thanks - yes I agree!

The owner previously had another superyacht called SKAT and if you have a look at that, the design s very similar!

Thanks - yes I agree!

Thanks for watching the video. 👍Hope you have a great week as well. 😃

Yes - I agree!

Thanks. There were a couple of Cory tugs passing towing household waste down to the Belvedere incinerator and I thought about the start of your previous video!

​@@ThamesShips No worries! That was a great spot ☺

I wonder if the use of the tug is a PLA requirement as all the superyachts I have filmed at Georges Stairs have had one. Although I didn't film it, once the mooring process is completed, the tug usually disappears for 30 minutes or so and then brings a floating pontoon which is put up against the yacht to allow easier access.

@@ThamesShips Sounds about right - and the pontoon would be useful, anyway. I filmed something similar for my old channel Shipping TV a few years back aboard PLA Southwark: ua-cam.com/video/6WJL54MulJE/v-deo.html

Thanks. 👍

Yes - it was delivered to its owners earlier this year after having sea trials in the North Sea. I think it has a range of over 4,000 nautical miles.

@@ThamesShips Incredible!

Thanks!

Yes - thanks for watching. 👍

Thanks - you too 😃

Thanks. It was filmed from the riverside walkway at Tilbury.

Thanks for your kind comment. 👍

Thanks for watching the video. 👍

Yes - that is true. A computer won't clean the deck!

Thanks 👍

Thanks for your kind comment. Good luck with building the model. 👍

Thanks as always. 😃

Thanks. Yes - she certainly has a distinctive look.

Thanks for watching! 👍

Thanks. 👍Sorry - not much tug action in this video!

Thanks. Yes - the town on the other side of the river is called Gravesend. Up until the end of March, there was a ferry that took you from this side of the river (at Tilbury) to the other side of the river (at Gravesend) which took about 5 minutes. As this ferry doesn't run anymore, if you are driving from Tilbury to Gravesend, it now takes about 30 minutes and you have to cross the river using the Queen Elizabeth II bridge at Dartford. If you are travelling by train, you have to travel via London and it takes about 90 minutes to get to Gravesend from Tilbury!

@@ThamesShips I remember you having made a video on the last trip of the ferry this last winter. So sad.

Thanks. 👍The main purpose of the fire nozzles on the tug boats is to fight fires but they are occasionally used for water salutes on special occasions. You sometimes see it at airports as well for special flights (such as a new route or a new type of aircraft) though in such cases the airport's fire engines are used to spray the water.

@@ThamesShips Thanks for explaining, I will defo be keeping a lookout for them🙂

Thanks. 👍It is only the third one that I have seen live (the other two being when Ambition made it's first visit to Tilbury and when the Virgin cruise ship Valiant Lady came to Tilbury). I know that there have been others but these are the only ones that I have actually seen.

@@ThamesShips I attended a Dunkirk Little Ships return to Chatham Docks so we were all dressed over and brass all shiny. The Massey Shore Thames Fire Boat decided to do a sail past with the monitor blasting out lovely dock water. The crew of Bluebird of Chelsea presented the Massey crew with there now ruined ships bell for them to polish again. Plus a bottle of gin to sip while doing it. I helped the big Bluebird get away from the dock early, she was hemmed in between boats rafted ahead and astern. So old Lazy Days did a bit of tug work. After Dunkirk Lazy Days was kept in the navy doing Thames Estuary parachute mine patrols. She was under Chatham control buy was moored at Queensborough for the duration.

@@TheByard Thanks for sharing your memories.

Thanks. It is only the third time I have seen it happen.

Thanks mate.

Thanks. The only other water salutes I have seen there was when the Ambassador cruise ship Ambition came for the first time and also when the Virgin cruise ship Valiant Lady came for the first (and only!) time. I am sure that there have been other ones as well but these are the only ones that I have seen.

Thanks. The cruise ship Ambience was due to leave about 15/20 minutes later so I thought I would film two videos. Hopefully the Ambience departure will be the next video uploaded.

Thanks. There wasn't many people around as it was about the time that England were playing in the football. I thought that if I filmed it at Tilbury, I could also film Ambience departing as it was due to depart about 15 / 20 minutes later. I believe there was also a Colombian Navy training ship sail up today.

Thanks as always. 😃I believe there was also a Colombian Navy training ship sail up to London today.

Thankyou for that i do log and photo all Navy Warships this is one of my hobbies along with Aircraft, Thanks again.

If I hadn't been filming this sailing ship at Tilbury on Sunday, I would probably have been at Southend Airport seeing the Red Arrows. They were operating out of Southend for the afternoon to fly to an airshow.

Thanks. 👍I believe there was also a Colombian Navy training ship sail up to London today but I am hoping to see it on Saturday.

Yes - I remember watching your video. It may be up again soon as the next event is at Dumfries and Galloway on 13th / 14th July so could possibly visit.

@@ThamesShips It would be great to see her again!

Thanks. I would have preferred to film from the other side of the river so that the sun would have been behind the camera but the view from that side was unfortunately blocked.

@@ThamesShips You did a good job anyway!

@@ShipsandShipping Thanks 👍👍

Thanks for the information. 👍

Yes - thanks! All good. 👍👍

Thanks. The same two tugs are booked to assist when it departs on Friday evening.

Will watch out for that, thanks

Thanks. I would have preferred to film from the other side of the river so that the sun would have been behind the camera but unfortunately the view was blocked by some other boats moored over there.

Yes - it was filmed at about 6:10 in the morning and the sun was low in the sky. I would have preferred to film from the other side of the river so that the sun would have been behind the camera but unfortunately there were some other boats blocking the view from that side.

Thanks!

Thanks. 👍I have subscribed to your channel as well.

@@ThamesShips np and thanks too :)

Thanks. Yes - when she came to London last year she was white and yellow. I think I prefer the new design.
