Trinity House

 

 

This page is devoted to postcards and photographs of the Trinity House vessel Alert.

 

On Tuesday 11 October 2005, the new Trinity House Rapid Intervention Vessel (RIV) Alert was launched at the Stocznia Remontowa SA shipbuilders yard in Gdansk, Poland. She arrived in Harwich in April 2006. Alert is a coastal working vessel and will, in addition to maintaining aids to navigation, provide a fast response to incidents and carry out emergency wreck marking and hydrographic survey services. Her primary area of operation will be the busy shipping routes of the Dover Strait, English Channel and Southern North Sea. The Alert marks the first stage of an investment of £38 million on three new vessels by the General Lighthouse Authorities (GLA’s) of the United Kingdom and Ireland. The vessel will be equipped with 3000kw main engines and is 52.5 tonnes deadweight. She has twin CCP drives, bow thrusters and a dynamic positioning system.
