River Thames: Patrol and ZP Bear

            From 7 October 2016.
Port Of London Authority Pilot cutter Patrol heading up the River Thames as Kotug SMIT tug ZP Bear sails down river...
Patrol was built in 1982 by Halmatic, according to the PLA's own website. Halmatic appear to be English but I can't find, accurately, whether they're still in existence. Patrol appears still to be on the Thames, at Gravesend, as am I.
ZP Bear is now VB Bear, in changed livery with a dark blue hull and under new ownership: now a Boluda (Spanish) tug following their acquisition of (Dutch) Kotug SMIT...
I follow a photographer here who very recently posted a picture of VB Bear moored in Hamburg, its new base...it was built in 2015 at the same Netherlands shipyard as Svitzer Madeleine.
