Christine Y
On July 28th we added a new addition to the Fleet - the little Christine Y came into the Faversham Family - the lovely little addition was very quickly repainted and placed back on her contract carrying fertiliser from Amsterdam to the UK E.Coast and back again (and again) - she has started very well and is proving very popular with everybody.
Verity - main engine renewal
The previous Watsila engine seized whilst the vessel was in the English Channel. The vessel was towed to MMS Ship repair Yard in Hull and an access was cut in the forward bulkhead to remove the existing engine and fit the new MAK Caterpiller, 9M20C. We also utilised this time to carry out her intermediate class survey and a full re-paint.
Trinity sails for new waters
A sad day for everyone involved with Faversham Ships happened at Shoreham Harbour on 21st July 2008, when we said farewell to an old favourite the Trinity. We waved good bye as she was sold to buyers from Chile, she set sail south to her new waters on Friday 25th July and will be missed by all who sailed on her.
Union Mercury to change names
Our ship the Union Mercury TBR - Verity will finally change names when she arrives in Chatham Mid - August and also will come under full management responsibilities of Faversham Ships.
