In the beginning of the XVI th Century<br />
Henry VIII granted a Royal Charter to the<br />
Guild of the Holy Trinity allowing this fraternity<br />
to regulate the pilotage of the<br />
ships. Approximately one hundred years<br />
later Trinity House built its first lighthouse.<br />
This was the beginnig of the Trinity House<br />
Lighthouse Service – the organization which<br />
nowadays is the only light operator in England,<br />
Wales and the Channel Islands, as<br />
well as the pilotage authority for London and<br />
over 40 other districts.<br />
Trinity House, together with their Scotland<br />
- based sister organization – Northern<br />
Lighthouse Board, engaged Remontowa<br />
S.A. to deliver in 2006 two modern Buoy<br />
and Light Tenders to support their everyday<br />
operations. Both vessels will be designed<br />
and constructed for service as Multi Function<br />
Tenders operated throughout all seasons<br />
respectively round the coasts of Scotland<br />
and the Isle of Man by the Northern<br />
Lighthouse Board and the coasts of England,<br />
Wales and the Channel Islands by<br />
Trinity House Lighthouse Service. The vessels<br />
will be interchangeable and be capable<br />
of supporting each other’s roles.<br />
The primary functions of both vessels is<br />
to lay, retrieve and maintain navigation buoys<br />
together with their associated moorings.<br />
The vessels in addition will be designed with<br />
