MT Kent, built 1948 by Richards of Lowestoft, restored by The Southeastern Tug Society, from 1995 to 1999 Length 88' 0" Beam 22' Draught 11' 6" 121 Tons Gross 121 880 B.H. P 5 Cylinder British Polar diesel engine.As far as I can find out The Southeastern Tug Society has obtained a grant of most of the money for the replating of the hull of the tug, and she is now on Ramsgate slipway to have this work done.
It's a shame no-one seems to care as much about the poor old Cervia.
