Royal Fleet Auxilliary Fort Victoria back in service after major refit

The RFA vessel fort Victoria left the Cammel Lairds yard on the mersey today after having a major refit costing millions over the past year.

She was berthed on the CLT at the pierhead Liverpool overnight and will be sailing for Scotland at some point on Tuesday 13th Jan.

Other RFA vessels have gone into "layup" after service/refit due to lack of crew/engineers but it looks like the Fort Victoria will be back in service after a period of sea trials
