Lantic Bay

The Lantic Bay is a grab hopper dredger built in 1958 at Brazen Island, Polruan, Fowey for the Fowey Harbour Commissioners. The ship undertook dredging and other works at Fowey and other harbours around the Cornish coast until 2003 when it was sold to Sea Boston Ltd in Plymouth who immediately sold it on to Wyre Marine Services of Fleetwood. Dredging works were then undertaken at a range ports in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man. With contract dredging prices rising the Fowey Harbour Commissioners repurchased the Lantic Bay in March 2014 and the ship has continued in service at Fowey ever since.
