Tugs on Facebook

PEOPLE supporting the campaign to save the emergency tugs serving the north and west coasts of Scotland can now let their views be known on Facebook or even just click ‘like’ to show their support.

‘Save Scotland’s Tugs’ is at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Save-Scotlands-Tugs/283904758291585

The UK government is currently considering the future of the emergency towing vessels and the contract for the operation of the vessels finishes at the end of this month.

Campaigners are calling for a six to eight month extension to the contract to allow time to find alternative means of finance.
