Lynn Princess was initially lifted out of the water alongside the company’s shellfish processing factory at King’s Lynn with a view to replacing the topside plates. An already fairly large refit increased exponentially when the decision was taken to replace all the hull plating down to the keel. As a result, the only original parts left are the keel, engine beds, most of the frames, part of the deck, the shaft tube and the rudder. The decision to rebuild a boat that has proved extremely well-suited to working the usual Wash fisheries of shrimps, mussels and cockles for nearly 30 years was taken as no new boats engines were installed in the engineroom, together above 14m are allowed to be used under a Wash with a 45kVA JCB generator. entitlement, and therefore Lynn Princess could not A highly automated shrimp handling and have been replaced by something of similar size. processing system, supplied by the Dutch company A modern-style wheelhouse and wraparound De Boer RVS of Makkum, was fitted on the main stern deck casing were fabricated, together with a deck just forward of the wheelhouse. whaleback, new fishing gantry and beams.

But I have endeavoured to give my own impressions of much of the beautiful coast-line, and also some idea of the character of the moors and dales of the north-east portion of the county. I have described the Dale Country in a companion volume to this, entitled 'Yorkshire Dales and Fells.' GORDON HOME. EPSOM, 1907.

  • Modernising Trust Ports [Second Edition] I
    Modernising Trust Ports [second edition] i. Introduction This is the second edition of Modernising Trust Ports (MTP). The first was published in 2000 by the then Department for the Environment, Transport and the Regions, and followed a review of the trust ports sector that focused principally on corporate governance and accountability. That review highlighted a need for a general improvement in the openness and accountability with which trust ports conduct their business, and prompted the Department to stipulate governance guidelines which it expected all trust port boards to use as the benchmark of best practice — Modernising Trust Ports. A similar exercise was undertaken with respect to municipal ports. The general improvement sought by the Government has been widely in evidence in the years since then, and the sector should be congratulated for the considerable strides it has taken in this direction. In 2006 the successor Department for Transport embarked upon a thorough review of ports policy, in light of devolution in the UK planning and political systems, and the evolution of global trading patterns. The review looked among other things at the future of the mixed ports sector, including the outlook for trust ports in the coming decades. This was set against the backdrop of the decision by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) in 2001 to classify the largest trust ports as public corporations, which had the effect of placing those ports’ borrowing on the Department’s accounts, and the relevant ports' subsequent applications, now on hold, to remove themselves from perceived public sector controls through the pursuit of appropriate Harbour Revision Orders (HROs).
