River Thames: MTS Valour
Another multi-functional tug sailing down the River Thames and heading further afield, this time Lowestoft.
I've seen MTS Valour before, but in orange/grey livery so perhaps it's changed hands.
It was built in 2006 by Damen, who often appear here as builders: they're a Netherlands company but also build in Romania and Vietnam (amongst others). MTS Valour was built in the Netherlands.
It's a Damen Shoalbuster 2308...shoalbuster seems to mean versaltile/multi-functional.
