J P KNIGHT

Klyne Tugs were a relatively unknown towing company who, like others, had purchased hardware when it became available at moderate prices until they gained the MCA contract to provide emergency towing services round the UK. This service was required by the government after the loss of the Braer at the Southern point of the Shetland Islands in 1993.

To support this service they had a number of ships built in the far east and utilised the best of their second hand tonnage. They also purchased one of the Maersk L Class which became the Anglian Earl and which has been used for general towing duties and well as supporting the Coastguard operations. (Written February 2010)

For some reason I had not bothered to register the purchase of Klyne Tugs at the end of 2007 by J P Knight, who bill themselves as Britain's oldest tug owner. Obviously the deal must have been motivated by the MCA contract. In June 2011 the company sold the Anglian Prince, motivating me to update the page at last.

At the time of the purchase Peter Cardy the chief executive of the MCA said "There will be plenty of opportunity to build on this service with the combined resources of JP Knight and Klyne". The contract with the MCA is terminated in September 2011.
