A life ring on board the newest addition to London’s river bus transport network, Mercury Clipper, pictured in East Cowes today as she begins a 200 nautical mile maiden journey to the Capital from the Isle of Wight. Joining the MBNA Thames Clippers fleet, Mercury Clipper, is the first of two new boats that will enter service in London this summer. Six members of crew – with over 80 years of combined experience between them – will carry out the 12 hour journey, at an average speed of 20 knots.
A £6.3 million investment in London’s port and transport infrastructure, Mercury Clipper and Jupiter Clipper have been built at the Wight Shipyard Co Ltd on the Isle of Wight. The boats took 10 months to build, creating over 75 new jobs across the Isle of Wight and London, including the hiring of two dedicated apprentices and engagement with over 100 local suppliers from across the South of England.
