I saw the Windsor Castle in Dubai Creek, used as a Night Club/knocking shop until she was bought by Greeks and used as an acommodation ship in JEDDAH during the construction of Jeddah Oil Refinery, about 1980.

Vic
I am interested to hear about the tug as I have no record of such a vessel belonging to UC if it is true then that is another vessel still in existence.
I have found a web page about her and they do state she was owned by UC.
I knew about Tugs called Koodoo based in East London but this one is news to me. It will get included in the new web site.
Victoria..........No
Tattershall Castle..... certainly not
Dane......don't be silly
I know it is driving some people mad but isn't that the fun of it?
Let me offer some small clues
1, She was not built for UC but acquired later
2. She still has the same name.
3. She is in Europe
Good luck...... I have picture waiting to be posted !
