Svitzer Stanlow photographed hard at work on the River Mersey on 20 March 2014 above and 11 April 2014 below when I photographed her assisting Navion Oceania into Tranmere. She is a common site on the river and I have seen her many times over the years.
Built for Svitzer Marine Ltd by the ASL Shipyard in Singapore she joined the existing fleet of tugs working on the River Mersey in 2006. She was christened in Liverpool on 7 September 2006 after arriving from Singapore a few days before. The new vessel was officially named at Ellesmere Port by the wife of the Shell refinery manager. Stanlow was been chosen to because Shell have a local headquarters located in Stanlow.
