Thames Tugs

Thames tugs Redoubt, Reclaim, Recovery & Resource form line abreast during the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Pageant.

These vessels are virtually identical, and were constructed 2010 for the Cory Riverside Thames fleet. Each tug is 22.5 metres in length, and are powered by twin 1,200bhp engines, with 100bhp bow thrusters for additional manoeuverability . They are used mainly for barge towing on the difficult tidal stretches of the River Thames and the Estuary.
