Tug AFON LLIGWY and hopper barge arrive at Scotstoun, Glasgow from spoil-ground

BOSS TUG and the tug AFON LLIGWY were engaged in positioning the crane barge and hopper barges which were dredging the channel of the River Clyde off B.Ae yard at Scotstoun, Glasgow.

And when the hoppers were filled with silt the tugs would lash the hopper alongside and then travel downriver to the spoil-ground near to the mouth of Holy Loch and the hopper would discharge the spoil and then the tug and empty hopper would return to Scotstoun.
