Does anyone know anything about the capsized tug at Spurn Point some years ago? I'm sure it was one of UTC or Humber Tugs vessels.

Capt Cook,

Can you provide the exact date of the incident as it appears to be somewhat elusive other than 1996.

Thanks for the info Capt.

I have just finished compiling a book on CD on Adsteam UK Ltd group fleet history including United Towing and their ancestral fleets so the date fills in a gap in Moiras data
