After attending Trinity House statutory buoys at South Brake and Gull Stream, THV Patricia moved on to the North Thanet on behalf of one of our Commercial Customers.
On recovery of the buoy, the crew found that the chain was knotted and twisted with distorted links and made the decision that new chain should be fitted to ensure the asset remained operational to IALA availability standards.
The crew fabricated and fitted a new name board and a thorough inspection of the buoy was completed.
