The two ex grain barges, TIRLEY and CHACELEY were taken down the Severn and Gloucester & Sharpness Canal in April 2007 to have a survey carried out at Sharpness Shipyard. Sadly they remain rotting away whilst moored outside of the drydock.

provides drydocking, repair and general maintenance facilities for vessels of up to 103 metres in length, 14.6 metres beam and 4.7 metres draft.
