THV Galatea visits E.ON's Middle Scroby buoy, for its annual inspection.
When they arrive to the 'dirty buoy' it is carefully lifted from the sea:
Our highly skilled staff, jet wash the buoy clean to prolong its life at sea and to ensure a high level of conspicuity - allowing its important distinctive green 'starboard' colour to be clearly visible.
After completing their annual checks and carrying out some essential maintenance, the buoy is deployed back into its A.P. (Assigned Position).
