Tugs for Carrier Section Move


There are two tugs allocated to take the latest carrier section of the 'Queen Elizabeth' aircraft carrier through from Govan (Glasgow) to Rosyth (Fife)

The lead tug is the Italian 'Marco Magno' and the second one is the Norwegian 'BB Troll'.

They both made there way to the 'Tail of the Bank' off Greenock late this afternoon and will await the Clyde Svitzer tugs to bring the barge down from Govan tomorrow.
