Sorry for the typo. That should be "Bartlett Creek Shipping Co Ltd"

Thanks for the added chronology Davidships. At least she has a much more pronounceable name now ;-)

You were nearly right, Robert. She was at Southampton in 2014, reportedly on the way to West Africa with a tank barge, when she was detained by MCA and the sale fell through.

Adding to John's chronology for AICIRTRON:
2002 Thames Towage
2009 Thamescraft Drydocking Services Ltd (Paul Devrell)
2013 ?? (Sierra Leone flag)
2014-2016 (at Southampton)
5/2016 Barlett Creak Shipping Ltd (Alan Pratt), Rochester (UK flag, reg Rochester)
12/2016 renamed BUZZ

Thanks Ken. Not much else down there at the moment, I was just passing time whilst my daughter had an interview at the University nearby.
