In February 2011, the specialist anchor
handling vessel Normand Pioneer docked in the
Outer Harbour at Great Yarmouth, UK in the
final phase of a month long exercise managed
by FCM to recover and recycle a 175 tonne
naval buoy. Two vessels were chartered and a
team of over 30 involved, including locally
sourced ROVs and diving experts.
The buoy had been used as an integral part of
the equipment trials for the Royal Navys new
