HARRISONS OFFSHORE |
|
|
Harrisons (Clyde) used to be a traditional British shipping
company once. They operated general cargo ships, which if
memory serves ran from Liverpool to the West Indies and bits
of South America. In the mid 1970s they started up an
offshore division, which was known as Stirling Shipping and
is addressed elsewhere on this site. In 2001 Stirling were
bought by Seacor, but two of the ships were personally owned
by the Harrison family, so they kept them and renamed them.
They were both VS 473s. They were sold in 2005 to Havila and Rovtech
respectively, and so ended yet another chapter in British
maritime history.This written in January 2010.
