We are delighted to officially welcome Thames Bosun – a highly versatile multicat-style workboat – to the Livett’s fleet.
Purchased in early 2025, Thames Bosun immediately underwent a comprehensive refit to bring her in line with modern operational standards.
This was to ensure she meets the needs to support a wide variety of marine operations on the Thames, both now and long into the future.
Now fully refurbished, she is certified by the Port of London Authority (PLA) for Category C and D waters, clearing up for operations throughout the entire tidal Thames.
Having arrived on the river in October 2025, she is now ready for work and available for hire.
