18m x 8m Road Transportable Meercat Workboat

The latest Meercat to leave our facility has just completed her inaugural sea passage from

estuary.

With twin 40 t/m cranes, an 8 tonne deck winch and 47 tonnes of liquid or dry cargo
payload, this superb multi-role workboat boasts impressive capabilities, all deliverable in under a metre of water!

Dover. She is a Nelson 44 catamaran built by Souter Marine in 1995 and has a displacement tonnage of 18.5 tonnes. Port dredger the David Church is dredging close to the Eastern Entrance as the Dover

The Research Vessel Cefas Endeavour is berthed at the Cruise Terminal on Sunday 27th April 2014. She is an interesting ocean going vessel operated by the
Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS), bit of a mouthful that! Normally based at the port of Lowestoft she is owned by P&O Maritime Services and carries out fish stock
surveys, oil and gas research work and telecommunication, geophysical and hydrographic surveys. She has recently been conducting survey work around the Goodwin Sands in the
channel.

Owned by Klyne Tugs, the ETV Anglian Monarch was a regular caller at the port when on standby duty in the English Channel. She is pictured here alongside the
cruise terminal in 2010. She had a convivial crew who, subject to operational requirements, were always happy to show people around. As a result of government cutbacks the service has now been
withdrawn.

buyers in this tough, no nonsense, versatile little vessel.
