Arrivals and Departures – Royal Navy HMS TYNE P281 visits West India Dock

Royal Navy Offshore Patrol Vessel HMS TYNE P281 arrived at Wood Wharf, West India Dock near Canary Wharf on Tuesday 5th November at around 1430.

She is visiting to allow Royal Navy crew to participate in London Poppy Day collections and Remembrance Services in the Capital.

HMS TYNE P281 is a River Class Offshore Patrol Vessel operated by the Royal Navy Fisheries Patrol Squadron. She is based at HM Naval Base Portsmouth with sister ships HMS MERSEY P283 and HMS SEVERN P282.

The event has been marked by the arrival of an Offshore Patrol Vessel at the dock in the same way over the last few years. 2011 saw HMS MERSEY arrive and in 2012 HMS SEVERN.
