Headcorn
The Headcorn is our largest and most powerful vessel. It is primarily used for towing operations as well as for transporting materials.
The Headcorn is primarily skippered by the company’s Managing Director Tony Ractcliffe after its acquisition in 2001. It has allowed us to manoeuvre large loads of materials to our projects across the west coast. In addition thanks to the accommodation aboard the vessel it has allowed our team to be self-sufficient regardless of the area or time of year and has aided us with all our projects.
