Alpha Marine vessel spends Christmas at Wicklow port
Early on Christmas Eve morning, the multi-purpose workboat AMS Retriever arrived to spend Christmas Day at Wicklow port. The vessel is operated by the locally based company Alpha Marine, and as far as I am aware this was its first call at Wicklow.
According to the Alpha Marine website, the vessel is equipped is available to charter for dredge assist, towage, survey, anchor, and buoy handling. AMS Retriever has a bollard pull of 16.2 tonnes and is equipped with a powerful crane and winches. The 2309 type was built in 2022 by Damen at Hardinxveld in the Netherlands as HST Hazel, for the UK operator HST Marine. It was acquired by Alpha Marine in 2023 and replaced a smaller work vessel of the same name.
