Glasgow And Ships Of The Clyde

TUVAQ W passes Custom House Quay, Greenock on her passage to Rothesay Dock, Clydebank

Tug CMS WRESTLER had been at the Tail-of-the-Bank off Greenock Ocean Terminal, idling and waiting patiently for the incoming TUVAQ W to escort her up the River Clyde to the Fuel Terminal at Clydebank near Glasgow.

    With the tanker now arriving at the ship channel at the Ocean Terminal the tug moves to take station at the stern of TUVAQ W.
