Nuclear waste transporter to be broken up soon
A NUCLEAR ship which served Sellafield and nuclear plants in France and Japan will be towed away from Barrow and sent for scrap. Pacific Sandpiper, run by Pacific Nuclear Transport Ltd, is due to be sent to Holland for deep cleaning on Monday before being towed to Belgium to be broken up. The nuclear waste cargo vessel, which was built in 1985, is berthed in the Anchor Line Basin in Barrow docks and will be the fifth Barrow-based nuclear ship to be scrapped in the last decade. The ship was decommissioned and stripped of equipment earlier this year to make way for three newly-built ships which arrived in the town – Pacific Grebe, Pacific Heron and Pacific Egret.
