There's an interesting article in the October 2005 edition of "Sea Breezes" about the ABERTHAW FISHER in her last guise as MOONSTAR prior to going for scrap in 2000. Although much altered with the addition of dredging equipment, accommodation block and helipad, the fore section is still recognisable as the ABERTHAW FISHER.

Normally based at Barrow during slack times
during the 90s they were linked to a power company what was the name of the sister ship?

Sister was the Kingsnorth Fisher, both run by James Fisher for the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB)

Kingsnorth Fisher became New Generation. I was on her for 3 weeks.....Possibly the worst ship I have sailed on.
