Anglian Prince sold and off to Canadian waters.

Sister ship Anglian Princess has been on contract to the MCA as an Emergency Towing Vessel and stationed in Mount's Bay untill recently.
At 1000 hours this morning the Herakles had entered the Med through the Straits of Gibralter.

If you wondered where the Anglain Prince had gone - now we know.  Britain’s last traditional salvage tug, the Anglian Prince has been sold for further service with Rederi AB Nestor of Pitea, Sweden, and managers Marine Carrier AB.  The tug left Hull docks in the UK on 14 June bearing the new name Herakles and flying the Maltese flag. It is understood that the tug was bound for Montreal and its first assignment for its new owners.
