The Port of Barrow has celebrated the latest addition to its fleet of survey vessels, the Christine H, by hosting a naming ceremony in memory of a former, valued colleague.
ABP’s new vessel takes her name from ABP Barrow colleague, Christine Holmes, who sadly passed away in July 2017. The team at the Port of Barrow felt it would be a fitting tribute to Christine to name the vessel after her and continue her long association with the port.
Reverend Robin Ham from St George’s Church also attended the naming ceremony, blessing the boat and all attendees. Barrow Sea Cadets were also in attendance and provided a guard of honour for the invited guests.
ABP’s Port of Barrow, together with Garston, Silloth and Fleetwood is part of the North West division of ABP, and together they contribute £550 million to the UK economy.
The Christine H will be available to charter, along with other vessels, offering a capability to work in a variety of locations and water depths.
