Yes, Robert.
SVITZER VALE, which is currently under Danish flag, will be replaced by SVITZER MERIDIAN. I think that she is being built as DELICAY III (IMO (9834167), but not confirmed as others in the series are coming along behind.

I've been told that the Svitzer Vale will be here for a couple of months and that she will be replaced by a "new" tug.
Any confirmation appreciated

Regards

Bob

On marine traffic Svitzer vale in the Medway 2/5/18

person

I see the Svitzer Vale is inward for Gravesend today, will have to make an effort to see these latest arrivals when the rain stops :-)

person

Thanks Bob I think she only did two jobs before going back to Holland

person

Nice catch John, pity she didn't stay a bit longer.
She's been added to "VESSELS LICENSED AS SHIP TOWAGE TUGS BY THE PORT OF LONDON AUTHORITY" so will hopefully return one day.

Regards

Bob
