Capital Marine co-ordinates the delivery of Queen Mary

9th November 2009 - With the co-operation of the Port of London Authority, Upper Thames Pilots & Thames Craft Drydocking Services, the TS Queen Mary left her moorings on Victoria Embankment for a last Thames river Pilotage enroute to La Rochelle. The vesel was safely delivered to Tilbury docks where she will undergo further preparations for the next stage of the voyage.

CMS would like to congratulate all parties involved for their professionalism under difficult circumstances. The Pilotage & towing was of a particularly high standard.
