EARLY MORNING HARTLAND POINT VISIT

The huge MV Hartland Point made its way into Devonport early this morning.

The Ministry of Defence Ro-Ro (@AWShips) passed a number of vessels at anchor in the Sound including the Dutch warship HNLMS De Ruyter and RFA Proteus.

AW Ship Management supports UK government owned and chartered vessels, and this includes managing the Foreland Shipping Ro-Ro fleet on behalf of the MoD.

The roll-on/roll-off sealift Hartland Point is one of four vessels now working across the globe, and was originally procured under a Private Finance Initiative to be available for use as naval auxiliaries to the British armed forces.
