Heads up for later this afternoon, at @17:00
Coastguard has requested that Tanker "Sten Triton" take part in some helicopter winch training at 17:00 this afternoon.
They said yes, and will involve the helicopter, most probably R199 from Prestwick, winching a crewmember onto the ships platform/deck.
The ship is currently heading up the Irish sea abeam Larne, and it's showing a destination of Derry/Londonderry at 22:00
At 17:00 I'd estimate that it would be somewhere off the coast around Cushendun/Ballycastle.
Obviously it'll be dark then, but just in case anyone from that part of the world wants to listen in to Marine CH.16 for the comms.
