Tug WRESTLER is released by Shell tanker ARIANTA and leaves Ardrossan and returns to Greenock

Captain Docherty had brought the tug WRESTLER from Greenock to assist in docking the all-aft Shell tanker ARIANTA at Ardrossan Harbour and WRESTLER put her tow line onto the tanker in the Ardrossan roadstead
Tug SEAWAY at the bow and tug WRESTLER at the stern assisted the tanker bow-first from the roadstead into the berth 12 at Montgomerie Pier

Now at 0430, with the tanker fast alongside, the Ardrossan Pilot released WRESTLER and the tug departed Ardrossan to return to Greenock
