Superyacht IRIS BLUE mooring in London on 23rd July 2024. Superyacht IRIS BLUE was built by Heesen Yachts at Oss in the Netherlands. It was the first superyacht delivered by Heesen in 2024. It was mooring at Georges Stairs which is just downriver from Tower Bridge.
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!
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

@@ThamesShips No worries! That was a great spot ☺
So it is a brandnew yacht. How beautiful. I suppose it can sail all around the world if it wants to. Lovely video.
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!
very good 👍 have a good weekend 👍
Thanks - you too 😃
Interesting to see - surprised to see them using a small tug rather than their own boat, but skipper's choice, I suppose!

Cleverly chose 'slack tide' I think as the river has ferocious currents at times and can get very choppy.
Yes - thanks for watching. 👍
